Reilly silently listened to the words of the straw hat boy beside him, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Luffy, who used to be, has grown up.

Two years ago, the earth-shattering battle in the Chambord Islands felt like yesterday to him.

Joey Boy's awakening, the terrifying power of Nika Fruit, was able to compete with that man, which he couldn't believe in any way.

Of course, what is even more worthy of praise is the strong belief in Luffy's own heart.

In just two years, too many things have happened in the world, and it can be said that the outside world has changed unpredictably, and the situation is completely different from what it used to be.

The fall of the Four Emperors of the Pirates, the rise of the Five Admirals.

Such a drastic change made him even more likely to say that the era of pirates was over.

But this is obviously not the case in Luffy's heart, his belief is unusually firm, and he is even more desperately cultivating, like an immortal Xiaoqiang.

Compared with two years ago, the strength of this straw hat boy is no longer the same!

is even more praised by Reilly, and the other party may become the hope and seed of the next new era of pirates.

"Your ship is hidden in a hidden place by me."

"Come with me, Luffy!"

Reilly said with a smile.

"Uh-huh!"

Luffy nodded heavily, his face excited and joyful.

A moment later, the two of them first arrived at Aunt Shao's stripping bar, and when they entered the place, Reilly was stunned, and Luffy had an excited expression on his face.

"Nami! Robin! Chopper! Usopp!! ”

The four companion crew members are sitting here at the moment, elegantly raising their glasses and tasting Aunt Shao's new wine.

At first glance, they have changed a lot, they are taller, and they are more confident.

Hearing the scream, the four turned their heads, and when they saw Luffy, their expressions immediately changed, and they screamed excitedly.

"Luffy!!"

Chopper jumped off the chair and threw himself into Xia Le's arms crying.

Nami also hugged Xia Le, and Usopp also jumped happily on one side, trying to hug Luffy, but found that there was no place for him.

Robin stood aside with a grin, a little sigh on his face.

After two years, everyone finally reunited again today, but the situation in the outside world has changed greatly.

Reilly smiled and walked to Aunt Peony's bar: "Where is the ship hidden?" ”

"It's all coated by you, can't you guess?"

Aunt Peony said casually with a smile.

Reilly was stunned for a moment, then reacted, shook his head with a smile and sighed: "This is really a good idea!" ”

"Hachi-chan, they've been guarding the boat, so you can rest assured."

Aunt Peony said.

"Good!"

Reilly nodded.

Then, he sat at the bar and turned his head to look at Luffy and the other group with a smile on his face.

Young people are always full of unlimited potential and vitality, and when an old man like him looks at it, he feels happy and happy.

In a trance, he seemed to remember the time when he was young, the encounter with Roger, and the acquaintance with the various companions on the ship.

"Now, old guys, they all have their own things and old age!"

"It's Barrett, who is still active in the world."

"It seems that he is now in charge of Marin Fando, which is really remarkable, and his authority is no different from that of the former admiral."

Reilly felt a lot of emotion in his heart.

Time always passes inadvertently, when you unconsciously go forward, and when you look back, you will find that everything has quietly gone away, and it has been completely different from what it once was.

Turning his gaze back on Luffy and the others, watching these young people talk happily together, Reilly smiled.

Undoubtedly, this group of people in front of us represents hope for the future.

Just as someone put his hope on Xia Le, he put his bet on this group of young people.

After a while, the joy of everyone meeting cooled down, and Reilly led the way, and Luffy and the others followed to find their ship.

The Sunshine is an excellent pirate ship, and the essential core structure of its ship is almost the same as that of the ancient weapon Hades, but it has abandoned the original powerful weapons and transformed into a variety of power systems.

The ship's performance is undoubtedly excellent, it can be started with just a Coke, and it bursts with great power, with a variety of ways to travel on the sea.

At the moment, in a sparsely populated port in the Chambord Islands.

"Whoa!"

The sea water suddenly stirred, reversed, and rolled backwards into the air, and the two sides separated.

“SUPER！！！”

With a loud scream, the ship with sunflower flowers in the bow slammed out of the sea, and the coating covering its whole body shattered with a snap.

"Long time no see, Sunshine!!"

Frankie shouted, lying on the deck, looking wistful and excited.

In fact, he should have been the first to arrive at Aunt Peony's Bamboo Bar, and he was the first to come here after getting the news of the ship.

After being coated, the Sunshine sank to the bottom of the shore because it would better protect the ship.

On weekdays, it is watched by Hachi and others to make sure that there are no problems.

At this moment, a figure on the shore was drenched by the stirring splash, which also caused the other party to turn his head gloomily, and a pair of eyes stared at this place.

When he saw this familiar ship, he couldn't help but be stunned.

"Sunshine?!"

Frankie heard the voice, quickly got up, and looked at the other party.

"Sanji!!"

A cry of surprise was heard immediately.

Sanji's expression on his face immediately changed, and he puffed out the cigarette he had just lit with one hand, and then exclaimed excitedly, "Franky! ”

"Nami-chan, Robin-chan, what about them?"

Frankie smiled, "It should be coming to us right now!" ”

"Hey! You guys!! ”

At this moment, a cold cheer suddenly sounded from the side.

The two of them hurriedly turned their heads, and immediately their faces changed slightly, only to see a pirate ship with the skull flag folded away, and more than a dozen pitch-black cannon muzzles were aiming at their ship in unison.

"Water, it's on us!"

The man with the captain's hat at the head said coldly.

"If you don't pay compensation, your ship will be sunk immediately!"

"You're pirates, aren't you? It's really funny, in this era, there are still such bold guys who dare to sail into this sea! ”

Immediately afterward, the captain said with great interest.

"Since they are all pirates, then pay 100 million taels of Bailey as compensation, and I will let you go."

Frankie's face calmed when he heard this.

Sanji, on the other hand, looked downcast, put a cigarette into his mouth, lit it with a snort, and then took a puff.

"Whew!"

The white smoke ring spat out, and a cold word came out.

"We don't have any money!"

The captain was stunned for a moment, and his eyes became sharp: "No?" ”

"Then there's no need to talk about it!"

He spun around sharply and waved his hand.

"Little ones!"

"In!"

The pirates standing in front of the artillery shouted in unison.

"Blow up their ship for me!"

The pirates looked excited, and immediately lifted the cannonball and filled it into the barrel. When the cannonball is filled, the torch in the hand is also raised.

Immediately, the fuse will be ignited.

Suddenly.

"Buzz!"

A purple-black light flickered in the void, and Frankie and Sanji turned their heads sideways in an instant, and their faces became extremely solemn.

If I wasn't mistaken, it was clearly a slash that almost grazed their faces.

And, powerful excessively!

Almost instantly.

"Huh!"

On the pirate ship that was very close in front, the pitch-black cannon barrel was cut in half, and the entire ship shook violently, and it was broken in half from the middle with a bang.

The screams sounded quickly, and the pirates, who were excited a second ago, were already terrified at this moment.

In just a dozen seconds, the huge pirate ship sank to the bottom of the sea, and a large number of pirates swam to the shore in horror.

"It's noisy!"

An indifferent cold voice came out, and then all the pirates who had just come ashore stood there in fear, not daring to move in the slightest.

In front of me, a man with short green hair, holding a knife, and carrying two knives at his waist was standing there, staring at them coldly.

"Get back to the sea!"

"If you want to live!"

The cold sound came out, and the sea water that was being pulled shook with it.

This scene made the pirates even more frightened.

A second ago, the man who cut off the ship was the guy in front of him.

The man saw that they did not move, and the long knife in his hand was slowly raised.

In an instant, all the pirates screamed in fear and hurriedly swam towards the sea.

At this time, Sanji and Frankie, who were standing on the boat, had a smile on their faces, looked at the man and shouted, "Zoro!! ”

The latter looked up, his cold face also eased, and replied with a smile: "Long time no see, Sanji, Frankie!" ”

The three of them looked at each other for a long time, and then quickly burst out laughing in unison.

There is no doubt that this is a reunion after a long absence, which makes them both feel extremely happy, and at the same time, they also feel a huge change from each other's bodies.

Compared to two years ago, everyone is stronger and more mature at the same time.

In particular, the aura on Zoro's body was like a ferocious beast, and the cold light in those eyes actually made them feel daunted.

The three of them got together and started chatting.

"What? You've been in Marin Vantor for the past two years? ”

"Did you worship that guy as a master? No wonder you've become so powerful! ”

"Although it is far away on that island, Xia Le's monster-level terrifying strength is still heard!"

Sanji and Frankie express their amazement.

Zoro smiled slightly, his past two years have been very slow and fulfilling, and at the same time, the improvement of strength is even more unimaginable.

He thinks that this is the best moment for him to go from immaturity to maturity and even peak.

It's just that.

Thinking of this, a touch of solemnity and seriousness appeared in his face.

Choosing to walk out of Marin Fando and reunite with Luffy and the others means that after meeting that man again in the future, the two will be rivals.

"It's good!"

"I also want to know how far away I am from you now!"

There was excitement in Zoro's eyes.

The weak swing their swords at the weaker, and the strong swing their swords at the stronger!

The former world's number one swordsman has fallen, and his former convenience has no opponents. But it is clear that the future will have to face a more formidable enemy than the Hawkeye Mihawk.

During the small talk, a group of people on the shore also walked over.

"Luffy!"

Frankie stood up in surprise and waved to the visitors.

"Chopper, Rob, Nami, Usopp!"

It was Luffy and his gang who came from the bar, and after everyone met, it was very lively, and they were chattering for a while.

"Now, it's up to Brooke!"

Luffy said with a laugh.

"I know him, Brooke is now the famous King of Souls!"

"Now, in the center of Chambord Island, a concert is being held!"

Frankie laughed.

Then, the group decided to go to the concert.

Along the way, everyone exchanged their lives in the past two years, and keenly noticed that there were significantly fewer pirates on the streets compared to two years ago.

If there is, it is low-key.

"The contradiction between the Navy and the world government is almost an open matter!"

"Therefore, at this moment, on this island, it is equivalent to three forces!"

"That is, the Navy, the Pirates, and the United World Forces!"

Robin said with a light smile.

"Huh? Is the Navy at odds with the world government? ”

Luffy's confused way.

"In the battle of Ghost Island, the navy led by Xia Le cut off the head of Satan, one of the five old stars of the world government."

"It is also because of this that the navy has set up a separate portal and established a special empire!"

Rob said in a deep voice.

In her opinion, this is almost a historical event, even if it is a hundred, three hundred, five hundred years in the past, it will be recorded and passed on to future generations.

"The navy now has almost unprecedented control over this island!"

"Coupled with the intentional or unintentional competition between the coalition forces of the world government, this also makes it difficult for pirates to survive, which has also increased to an unimaginable level."

"So, you can see that on this island, there are fewer pirates visible to the naked eye."

Sauron also spoke.

As he spoke, his eyes became solemn.

Now, it's not a good time for pirates.

Whether it is the navy or the world government, although the contradictions between the two sides are irreconcilable, their attitude towards the navy is also the same.

Everyone was moving forward, and suddenly stopped, and Luffy, who looked puzzled, was dragged into the alley next to him by Zoro and others.

Everyone was silent, and secretly looked at the oncoming navy on the street.

"It's this year's supernova Karib, Krib!"

"The bounty is 210 million and 190 million respectively, but I didn't expect to be captured by the Navy as soon as I came here!"

Frankie sighed.

"The number and strength of the navy now is not two years ago!"

Sauron's words were inexplicable.

He spent the past two years in the Navy Headquarters, and naturally he knew the growth and changes of his old opponent the most.

Whether it is the number of warships, the size of the personnel, or the growth of strength, the navy has shown a geometric multiplier.

In particular, two large prisons such as Advance City have been established with Xia Le's approval.

One is on Marinfando's side, and the other is above Dressrosa, a floating island.

After the Battle of Ghost Island, the defeated red-haired Shanks, Bigu Mam, Marshall Teach, the former general Sakasky, and the head of the Knights of the Gods, Figarand Gringus, were all imprisoned on this floating island.

When the navy departed, the group walked towards the center of the island again.

Only this time, there was pressure in their hearts.

Moments later, there was a thrilling arrival at the center concert.

When he saw Brooke on the stage, singing, Luffy shouted excitedly and waved.

"Luffy?!"

Brooke saw the straw hat boy opposite him almost instantly, and exclaimed in surprise.
