The early morning sun shone into Kaido's office.

Kaido sat quietly in his office, looking at this morning's World Economic Newspaper.

It has been a year since the world's No. 1 swordsman, Hawkeye, Joracol Mihawk, joined the Seven Martial Seas of His Majesty in a high-profile manner......

For a year, Zuan maintained the peace of the past, and with the establishment of the Seven Martial Seas, the navy's control over the first half of the great sea route and the four seas increased day by day.

The navy has also gradually focused its attention on the New World, and several naval branches in the New World have been completed with Karp as the commander, and the day of complete completion is getting closer and closer.

However, with the navy's exploration of the depths of the new world, it has already clashed with the emperor of the sea, and in just half a year, the navy led by Karp has fought seven times with Whitebeard's pirates, once with Whitebeard, and five times with the BIGMOM pirates.

"Times are changing!"

Kaido quietly looked at the newspaper, sighed from time to time, and then took a sip of coffee and had a snack, located in a relatively backward area even in the new world, and has a dragon gate and natural geographical advantages, resulting in the easy to defend and difficult to attack Zu'an country, Kaido has been living an extremely idle life these days, and occasionally sent his subordinates to clean up some eyeless miscellaneous fish pirates and the first machine of the 'Hades' that has been created by the experiment.

It can destroy an island the size of the Dragon Island with just one shot, and it is an absolute killer weapon in a naval battle, and it has no weaknesses except for the need to charge! It can be called the strongest battleship that is invincible!

If there is any weakness of this battleship, it is that it consumes too much power! That's right! The 'Hades' is a warship that uses electricity as the source of destruction, and although it can be replaced by other energy sources, its power will be relatively reduced, and if it can't destroy an island in one shot, then it can't be called the 'Hades' that will bring people to sleep forever.

"This battleship is also too unfriendly to people who can't manipulate thunder and lightning, and if the entire Zuan is used by anyone other than me, it will basically become a soft hole card weapon, and it can't play a super strategic significance at all! It's a pity that I don't know anything about science, especially the science of the Pirate World that can bring Newton to life...... Gotta get your hands on the Thunder Fruit. ”

Kaido gently stirred the coffee in his cup, he would have wanted to build a few more if there weren't so many damn restrictions, but the current situation had caused him to abandon his plans to continue making them, and instead asked Barrett and Quinn to work on alternative energy sources.

In fact, Kaido previously suggested to Barrett that he could replace his energy with cola...... Then he was scolded, and Barrett told him that even a little child would not ask such a retarded question, how could a drink like Coke be used as energy, and if Coke was used for energy, it would be more convenient than ordinary water......

Since then, Kaido has never bothered with Barrett and Quinn's research, but Kaido clearly remembers that there seems to be a character in One Piece who uses Coke as energy...... But it could also be that he was mistaken, after all, too much time had passed.

"It's been a great day!"

Kaido took a sip of his coffee, looked at the sunlight outside the window, and said lazily.

……

A small village in the Kingdom of Goa, the East China Sea is called Windmill Village, although this village is not marked on many nautical charts in terms of name, geographical location, and even many nautical charts, it is a very ordinary small village, but this village is indeed the village of the naval hero Karp.

Let's get off the book

It is also the place where the future Emperor of the Sea in the New World, the red-haired Shanks, agrees with the man he values.

"Luffy! Bye! ”

Shanks, with only his right arm left, stood in front of the dock and said goodbye to Luffy, who had become a 'good friend' with him in just one year.

"Shanks! I'm going to be the King of the Pirates! ”

Luffy knew that he couldn't stop Shanks from going to sea, and he couldn't follow Shanks out to sea, so he could only promise Shanks.

"Hahahaha! Luffy! I have a gift for you. ”

Shanks listened to Luffy's words and suddenly burst out laughing, then took off the straw hat that was inseparable from him, and then pressed it Luffy's head.

"Shanks, this is your most precious straw hat!"

Luffy raised his hand and touched the straw hat on his head and said to Shanks.

"Hmmm! That's why I've deposited my most precious straw hat with you! ”

"Luffy! Become a real pirate! When you have a precious companion and become a real pirate, give me back the Straw Hat! I'm waiting for you on the great voyage! ”

Shanks looked at Luffy wearing a straw hat, as if he saw Captain Roger who pressed the straw hat on his head back then, this moment is like a torch inheritance, he passed on the will called 'freedom' to the next generation, and he gambled his straw hat and left arm on the new era.

Shanks gave Luffy and the villagers of the windmill village behind him a cool back after saying that, and got on the boat with his friends without looking back.

"Goodbye! Shanks! ”

"Goodbye! Shanks! ”

The villagers of Windmill Village wept as they watched Shanks go away, and in the course of a year, Shanks had become best friends with them, and Shanks had conquered them with his charisma.

"Hahaha...... Captain! Aren't we going to stay here any longer? I see that little Luffy likes us very much! ”

"Why don't you take Luffy on an adventure together! Anyway, there aren't many of them! ”

"Yes! Oh, yes! And we see that little girl named Magino seems to be very interesting to you, Captain! ”

As soon as Shanks got on the boat, countless crew members roared around.

"Hahaha! Spare me! ”

Shanks said to his companions without a huff.

"Hahahaha......"

"Captain, where are we going next? Is it the island in the East China Sea? ”

A companion asked Shanks.

"What's our next destination?!"

Shanks' eyes flickered as he looked meaningfully at the crew who spoke.

"We don't need to go around the world anymore! The New World is about to usher in its fourth emperor. ”

Shanks paused, then spoke solemnly to the surrounding crew.

“……”

As Shanks's words fell, the entire ship became unusually silent, and they couldn't believe that these were Shanks' words.

"Hey, hey, hey! Shanks, are you kidding? Are we finally about to enter the new world? ”

A crew member clutched his heart and asked nervously at Shanks.

"Why are you scared?"

Shanks took in the crew's expressions and asked.

"What a joke! We're so excited! ”

"The day has finally arrived! We're ready to punch Whitebeard and stomp Kaido! ”

The crew shook their heads at Shanks, and some even shed tears of joy, they had waited for this day for too long, although they were happy to live freely at sea, but if they didn't attack the throne of One Piece, they always felt their hearts twist.

"Hahahaha......"

"Little ones! Towards the Great Route...... Full speed ahead to the new world! Let the whole sea boil over because of our arrival! ”

Shanks laughed loudly, and then pulled out his famous knife, 'Griffin', and aimed it in the direction of the sun.

"Oh! Let's go! ”

With the cheers of the pirates, the red-haired pirates officially began their great voyage parade!

Officially joined the battle for the main text of history, and launched an attack on the throne of One Piece, which is the apex of all the pirates that symbolize this sea.

And a month after Shanks left, Karp, who completed the mission assigned by Sengoku and hurried back from the New World, finally arrived home.

"What do you say? Are you going to be One Piece? ”

Karp looked at his lovely grandson in disbelief, obviously the other party was planning to become a navy, why did he become uncute after just a year away?

"That's right! I made an agreement with Shanks! I'm going to be the King of the Pirates! ”

Luffy even faced the legendary hero of the Navy, Monchi · D. Karp still dares to shout out his dream of becoming the king of the pirates, you must know that on this sea, in the face of this man named Karp, there will definitely be no more than five people who dare to shout that they want to be the king of the pirates, and these five people are either the sea emperors who live in the new world, or the sea legends who have competed with Roger Whitebeard.

However, Luffy, who is less than ten years old, still has the courage of an emperor on the sea!

"Bump!"

However, in the next second, Karp used the iron fist of justice against Luffy.

"Hee-hee-hee! Grandfather! I'm not afraid of your fists at all now, I'm a rubber guy now. ”

Luffy subconsciously picked up his head and found that he didn't hurt at all, and then he remembered that he was already a rubber man, and he didn't have to be afraid of his grandfather anymore.

"Luffy...... What did you just say? Who have you become? ”

However, at this time, Karp didn't care about his grandson's pain, he looked at Luffy, who was like an eraser, he flattened and then returned to his original state, and asked Luffy tremblingly, he couldn't believe what he heard just now was the truth, yes, he must have heard it wrong, how could his grandson be a rubber man?

"Hee-hee-hee-hee! I stole a strange fruit called a Devil Fruit from Shanks, and after that I became a rubber man! Grandfather! I'm amazing now! I'm not afraid of your fists anymore! ”

Luffy laughed at Karp.

"Huh?"

Listening to Luffy's words, Karp frowned, it seemed that he was going to teach Luffy a good lesson.

"Bump!"

An iron fist full of love smashed into Luffy's head.

"It hurts!"

"I'm already a rubber person, why does it hurt!"

Luffy touched the bulge that appeared on his head, and the whole person was not good, he asked with a wrinkled face.

"A loving iron fist cannot be defended!"

Karp instructed Luffy.

"And your straw hat is so familiar! Who gave it to you? ”

Karp picked up Luffy's straw hat, and he always felt like he had seen it somewhere.

"Shanks gave it to me!"

Luffy jumped high, hugged his straw hat, and said loudly to Karp.

"Smack~"

Karp let go of his hand holding the straw hat and flicked Luffy, who had turned into rubber.

"I've been very concerned since just now, which Shanks are you talking about?"

Karp looked at Luffy's straw hat and narrowed his eyes slightly, he suddenly had a bad premonition.

"Ahh Grandpa, do you know Shanks? He's also a pirate, he has red hair and three scars on his eyes! ”

Luffy touched his left eye and kept gesturing.

"Huh!?"

"Isn't this the red-haired Shanks? So your straw hat belongs to that bastard of Roger? ”

Karp realized why he was familiar with Luffy's straw hat, and at the same time, a nameless fire burned in his heart.

"Bastard! Redhead! Don't let Lao Tzu touch you! Otherwise, I won't even recognize Roger if I beat you! ”

Karp's roar was like a deafening bolt of lightning, piercing the silence of Windmill Village.

"Ahh Ahh......h

Shanks, who had already entered the park, suddenly sneezed, and he always felt a chill behind him.

"The little ones are going full speed, I always feel that something bad may happen......"

There was a hint of solemnity in Shanks' eyes, and his hunch had always been accurate.

On the other side of the windmill village, Karp grabbed Luffy with one hand and came to the house of the bandit Dadan on the mountain of the windmill village.

"This is not Karp...... Sir? The biggest pride of our windmill village for hundreds of years, I don't know what kind of wind blew you here today? ”

The moment Dadan saw Karp, it was like a mouse seeing ...... 'prehistoric giant meow', and he was so frightened that he stumbled.

"Ahh This little imp is also in your custody! ”

Karp nodded slightly at Dada, and then dragged Luffy, whose neck was stretched so long, in front of Dadan like a yo-yo.

"Huh? Damn imps again! ”

Dardan's watch Luffy accidentally reveal his true attitude.

"Huh? Someone who wants to go to jail again? ”

Karp asked in a dardan's tone as he plucked his ears.

"Ahh No, no, no...... I like the imp the most! Imp, this is your home today! I'll treat you like a son...... Forehead! No! I will offer you as an ancestor! ”

Dardan picked Luffy up and coaxed him softly.

"I don't want it! I'm going back to Windmill Village, I'm looking for Sister Magino! ”

Luffy kept making a fuss in Dadan's arms, and he didn't want to come to the bandit's house.

"Bad kids don't deserve to be in Windmill Village! If you're making trouble, the bandits will eat you! ”

Karp yelled at Luffy, and then punched Luffy in the head.

"Bump!"

With a soft sound, Luffy rolled his eyes directly and fainted.

"Help me take care of Luffy and Ace! I'm going to take care of one thing! ”

Karp instructed Dardan, and then left the other party with a dashing back.

"Karp! Where are you going? How long will it take to come back? ”

Dadan looked at Karp's dashing back, then looked at Luffy in his arms, and couldn't help but ask.

"I'll be back when I arrest that damn red-haired imp, don't worry! Soon! ”

Karp turned around, leaving Dadan with a hideous smile that Dadan would lose sleep for the rest of his life, and turned to leave.
