Chapter 18: One Year Later

South China Sea, Batrila Island.

It's been more than a year since One Piece, Gore D. Roger was executed.

It turns out that the planet will continue to turn around without anyone, including Roger.

The war maniac on Roger's ship, Douglas Barrett, made a big fuss after Roger's death.

As the only member of the Roger Pirates to jump like this, even if he is a "former" member, the world government will not let him go.

That's why there's such an unprecedented thing as launching a demon slaying order on a single person.

Barrett was then imprisoned on the sixth floor, where he was accompanied by the Golden Lion.

The course of history is like this, moving forward like an irreversible torrent.

Even Ike wasn't sure how much his outlier would change the worldline.

Although he just hoped that some small tributary would be led to another end.

"Tut-tut, look at the new information sent by Morgans, Mitsuki Mita took the opportunity of the battle between the Hundred Beast Pirates and the Moria Pirates, led the samurai to kill the inner ghost and broke through the General's Mansion, and the current general Black Charcoal Orochi was beheaded for public display." Karp laughed as he flipped through it, "Hahaha! And after rectifying the combat power, he also stabbed Kaido from behind! Drove both pirates out of Wano Country! What a joy! ”

"Oh? Mitsuki Mita can actually do this? ”

Ike looked up, his face full of disbelief.

Karp was stunned by Ike's rhetorical question: "Didn't you make the mistake in the first place!?" ”

………… A year ago............

Guangyue Yutian did not go to dance ** this day, but sat quietly in the bedroom for a long time.

As one of the top swordsmen, even though he is drunk all year round, he can still feel the special aura from the Supreme Great Sword.

And this breath ...... It's all too familiar.

After a long time, he finally reached out and slowly opened the wooden box.

Kinemon, who had been accompanying him in the room, stepped forward.

"Mita-sama! What's this!? ”

Inside the wooden box was a long knife with a gauntlet and an envelope with a cat's paw print.

Mitsuki Ota didn't answer, but took out the two items with a solemn expression, then opened the envelope and began to read.

With each additional line of reading, Mitsuki Mita's expression is enriched, one will cry, one will laugh, one will be angry, and one will be sad.

When I was most excited, I even rolled around the house.

"Hahahaha! Roger! You've actually started a new era! What an amazing life! I really envy you! ”

"Mita-sama ......"

"Kinemon." After Mitsuki Mita cried and laughed hysterically, he instantly restrained his emotions, and his eyes had never been so clear, "I will continue to dance." ”

"What!?"

"When I'm done, I'll continue to dance, but the Kwanggetsu family won't sit still, and from today onwards, gather the samurai!" Guangyue Yutian paused, a trace of unbearability flashed in his eyes, but he was finally pressed down, "Arrest Kanjuro and put him in Hailou Stone Prison!" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Yes, sir! ”

………… Right now............

Ike made a kitten face and said:

"The devil knows that Mitsuki Ota is so powerful! Ben Meow also thought that he could barely protect the country of Wano by dying, so that the situation was not so bad! ”

"But Kaido guy will be pinned down by that Moria Pirates, it seems that this is also quite a troublesome guy."

Karp's words made Ike think of a little.

Moriah hadn't been wiped out, so would it still have the kind of hellish work that the terrifying three-masted schooner did?

If it can't be done, then Brooke's shadow will not be sucked away, and Malone's body will not be stolen either.

That black knife autumn water can't reach the hand of that green algae head!

It seems that the air currents that his butterfly fanned out with its wings have begun to gain momentum, steadily advancing towards becoming a storm.

The results are encouraging.

Mitsuki Mita's change means that the plan he has planned in his heart can be realized.

Soon, though, Ike shook his head violently.

I don't have to think about that today, there are more important things to do.

"Speaking of which, you've been eating and drinking on my ship every day for the past year, why doesn't that girl in Gion have any opinions?"

"What do you mean by Ben Meow eating and drinking? Don't you smear your innocence out of thin air! Besides, haven't you used this meow as a tool cat all this time? By exercising Ben Meow as an excuse, most of the pirates are handed over to Ben Meow to deal with! Ike rolled his eyes and walked beside Karp, "As for Gion, don't go and block her, after that guy Roger said that sentence on the execution table, this year, the Chambord Islands have almost become a sea thief distribution market, and because the Chambord Islands are too large, they can't be killed, and she told me that she wanted to change guards with Polusalino during the last call." ”

"Hahahaha! Gion's luck is really bad, this time it was really miserable by Roger's guy! ”

Karp still laughed heartlessly, after all, not everyone is like him, and he can not return to his station for more than a year.

The big brothers of the G-3 Navy are too difficult to top.

Ike wagged his tail a few times, condemning Karp's behavior.

In a year's time, Ike's body has gradually begun to grow steadily towards the size of an adult serval, and the physical fitness bonus brought by the template has become more and more obvious.

At least not to be taunted by Karp for not having a big slap......

However, compared to their group of humans, who are often close to three meters, Ike is still a petite cat.

But in the eyes of ordinary people, it's different.

Not counting cats with tails that can be more than 60 centimeters long, they are still quite human.

The only fly in the ointment is that he has not received the task of system release for the whole year.

The system is like a dumb one, and three sticks are a bit of a fart.

And just when the decision was made to come to this island, the long-dormant system finally released a new mission.

【Ding, Quest Released】

[Gazing at the dream, conveying Roger's last letter.] 】

[5% of Reward Template Progress]

[Ding, due to changes in the world line, an additional 5% of the template progress will be rewarded after completion]

Ike blinked.

Good guys, no wonder it's been silent.

It turns out that the big one is coming!

This time on Bartlila Island, Cap is hiding his whereabouts, so only Ike is with him.

"Portcass D. Loujiu, what a terrible woman."

Even as a time-traveler who knows most of the history of One Piece, Ike can't help but sigh that he was nearly twenty months pregnant before giving birth to Ace, without the help of some strange Devil Fruit abilities or immortal-level doctors like Dr. Kureha......

Then Ike can only think that there is really an idealist force in this world.

Willpower or something, it's too abstract.

"Really? I'm not surprised. Karp shook his head, "She's Roger's soulmate, how can she be a weakling." ”

"Is it true that a strong person can casually surpass common sense? Give Ben Meow a little more respect for the rules of the world! ”

Outside the door of Potkas's house, I faintly heard hoarse shouts from inside the room.

They came at the right time.

Portcas D. Lounine began to give birth, a child who had been forcibly delayed by ten months......

The low roar of pain didn't stop for almost a moment, and even Ike was spinning in circles outside the door with some anxiety, accompanied by the occasional tail wagging.

Typical manifestations of anxiety in cats.

Originally, it was quite difficult for humans to give birth naturally, and it was still a fetus that only developed for ten months.

Ace is twenty months pregnant!

I really think everyone is Nezha!

After an unknown amount of time, the cries of pain finally subsided.

The Potcas' family also began to appear in the courtyard.

"Sea and Navy Hero Karp!?"

The Portcas clan clearly had a very bad impression of the navy.

Of course, all this is to blame for the decision of Sengoku.

The government wanted to find out Roger's wife and children and cut the roots, so the Warring States could only send a large number of navies to search Batrila Island and a large number of nearby islands, and almost all pregnant women who were about the same time pregnant.

This incident was almost an order from Sengoku at the same time that Tom was sentenced to death.

The results are indeed smart, but they are still too rigid.

Until now, I haven't seen clearly who the world government and navy are relying on whom.

"Aren't you going to let Lu Jiu go!?"

"Don't be afraid, it's just the two of us, we are...... Coming to fulfill promises. ”

"Promise? To whom is the commitment? ”

Karp and Ike looked at each other, one and one cat talking in unison.

"One Piece, Gore D. Roger."

……

"Slightly, slightly! It's Grandpa Karp! ”

Karp teased the infant like a real silly grandfather, with a look of relief on his face.

"Has he taken his name?"

"Of course, he told me that if it's a boy, it's called Ace."

Portcas D. Lounine lay weakly on the bed, but smiled when she heard the words.

The husband was executed, twenty months pregnant, and tried his best to endure the difficult birth.

And it is foreseeable that his children are about to be separated from him.

Under this continuous blow, Lu Jiu's life has begun to run out of oil, and as the owner of the archangel template, he can clearly perceive her passing vitality.

But this woman is showing extraordinary strength, and her pale face can still show a smile at such a time.

It's like a man who can still smile in the face of death on the execution table.

is really worthy of Roger's woman, in terms of will alone, she is really a strong man.

Ike squatted at the head of Lou Jiu's bed, staring down at the woman.

He seems to understand a little bit of the so-called willpower.

"Your child, you will let Karp raise it in the future."

"Well, I'm very relieved to entrust it to Lieutenant General Karp, after all, he is a good opponent who is trusted by him." Lu Jiu tilted her head, "What about you, Mr. Cat?" My gut tells me that you shouldn't be a pet. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Alas, how come you two are so virtuous? Is there an end? ”

Ike sighed.

"Today, Ben Meow is the 'messenger'."
