Chapter 518: Digging the Ground, Sneaking In
June 1525 in the Haiyuan calendar.
According to newspaper reports, Redhead and Luffy experienced a major battle on an unknown uninhabited island, and the final result was a narrow victory for Luffy.
At this point, Luffy officially won the title of "King of Adventure" and became the second largest world legend since Vivian.
As for why it's "Adventure King" and not "One Piece", it's because of Vivian.
Because Vivian said before that adventurers are more worthy of Luffy's title than pirates, Gordon and Fitzteler kept them in mind, so they naturally replaced these three words with the report when they published the newspaper.
For this reason, it also made Luffy, who got the newspaper and read the news, feel depressed for a while.
After all, he has been shouting that he is going to be the man of One Piece since he went to sea, and now he suddenly changed his name, which really makes him a little unacceptable.
But Vivian doesn't have time to care about this guy's feelings right now.
At this moment, he is following the large army led by Murray, digging into the treasury of other people's houses in the 64th Kingdom.
...
New World, the Kingdom of Taro.
According to rumors, this seems to be the base camp of the Sixty-Four Nations Alliance, and the leader behind the scenes should live in this place.
Of course, this is also all speculation by the civilians outside, and no one knows who exactly is the person who initiated all this, except... Vivian and his party.
"Hey, did you dig up?"
Below the ground, Vivian was smoking a cigar, and in front of him were busy Maury and a group of members of the Revolutionary Army, behind him were Smoker and Dusty, as well as a number of naval soldiers.
Yes, after a year, Vivian and Dusty finally met again.
Thinking back to the time when he first joined the Navy, once upon a time, he was still at the Rogue Town base because of Dusty and was targeted by his local naval colleagues, but now that time has passed, he has become the commander of the new government, and it is really embarrassing to think back to the old days.
In the same way, compared to the way he got along with Vivian at the beginning, Dusty now doesn't even dare to make contact with Vivian, let alone talking to Vivian.
I don't know if it's because I feel strange to Vivian, but in short, the two are in the same space, and the atmosphere is really very awkward.
Of course, Smoker naturally couldn't see it.
"By the way, I haven't asked yet, why did you bring her?" Vivian gestured to Dusty behind Smoker.
Smoker heard this: "Didn't you ask me to bring some trustworthy and powerful subordinates, and Dusty is one of them." ”
He pondered, Dusty not only has the rank of colonel, but his sword skills have reached the level of a swordsman, is there anything wrong with such a subordinate when he goes out on a mission?
"I didn't mean that, I just said, wasn't she transferred back to the East China Sea, why did she come back again?"
Remember that Papanov in Rogue Town?
Since Smoker took the initiative to lead the team to hunt down Luffy into the Great Voyage three years ago, Papanov has naturally assumed the position of leader of the base in Rog Town.
Until the first two months, not only the collapsed section of the Red Earth Continent, but even the Upside Down Mountain was tightly guarded by Kuto and others, and the pirates from all over the world could not enter the great route, so they could only stay in their own sea areas, quietly waiting for the opportunity.
No, most of the pirates located in the East China Sea have gathered in Rogue Town.
No way, who said that this place is close to the Red Earth Continent, and secondly, it is rich and prosperous, and rich in resources?
If it weren't for the fact that there was a naval branch in the town, I am afraid that this place would have been ransacked by pirates and turned into a borderless land for pirates to inhabit.
But Rao is like this, and the town of Rogue, which is guarded by the navy, is still attacked by pirates in turn.
Without Smoker and Dusty, let alone Vivian and Fuji Tiger, plus Karp had already returned from the East China Sea to the Great Voyage, for a while, Papanov, who had no backer, was at a loss, his own strength was very mediocre, and even the general naval commander Cao Cao of the headquarters couldn't beat him, how dare he go up and do it when he encountered this kind of thing?
So, not long after the pirates invaded the town, seeing that his soldiers seemed to be unable to resist, he was the first to take a boat and leave the dock at the back of the town.
Later, the headquarters learned about this, so they sent reinforcements to wipe out the pirates in Rogue Town one by one, and among the headquarters navy sent was Dusty.
Vivian remembers it clearly, at that time, his assistant brought the information of the East China Sea and asked him to approve the new base chief of Rogue Town, he glanced at it roughly, and his eyes fell directly on Dusty's profile photo, so he directly let this girl go to the East China Sea to be the base leader, why did he suddenly come back now?
In this regard, Smoker explained it like this: "Now that our new government is facing a war, it is natural to need to bring back the high-end combat forces distributed in the four seas, so that it can also greatly improve our victory rate and reduce casualties, right?" ”
Vivian: "......"
"Well, you have a point."
Spat out a puff of smoke rings, Vivian couldn't find any reason to refute for a moment.
"Hey, it would be nice if the people of these kingdoms could evacuate in advance, so that they could directly launch the Hades to sink the island."
Mauri, who was digging a hole, suddenly turned around and said.
"You're thinking beautiful." Vivian rolled his eyes.
Even if he can bombard it with Hades, he may not be willing to do it, there is not much land in this One Piece, and if it is all bombarded, how will humans live in the future?
All of them went to the deep sea to build a kingdom under the sea?
Well..
It doesn't seem impossible.
We were chatting.
Boom!
There was a crisp sound, and Maury immediately stopped digging again.
"What's wrong?" Smoker asked.
"Dig to the end?" Vivian took two steps forward.
"I'm sorry, but I've found a metal mine." Maury reached out and scratched the back of his head.
With his fruit ability, unless it is an extremely hard special substance, things like stone and steel are almost like tofu in front of him, and they have no effect.
"Metal mines?"
Hearing this, Vivian hurriedly stepped forward.
"This mine... It looks like some kind of rare metal, huh? Vivian was a little surprised, he couldn't imagine that such a good thing still existed in the underground of this taro kingdom.
But at the moment, that doesn't seem to be the point.
"You should be in the right place, right?"
"Here we are." Maury nodded.
"Then let's start here and divide into two ways."
