The war in the three seas.
The world watched in silence.
The Marines on the Grand Line were confused, CP was melancholic, and pirates... instantly felt the words "Pirate King" were no longer appealing.
Pirate King!
Sounds good, conquering the Grand Line, the strongest pirate, called the King of all pirates.
But in reality?
Roger was not worthy of being called King!
Rocks was defeated by him and Garp together. Golden Lion, purely Roger's good luck. Whitebeard, a draw after three days of fighting, kneeling and begging to take Kozuki Oden away. Charlotte Linlin, Roger didn't fight head-on at all, stole the historical text coordinates.
In summary.
Roger never once relied on his own strength to defeat other top-tier great pirates.
Just lucky, having the ability to hear the Voice of All Things, plus Oden's assistance, gathered the historical coordinates, and found the final island.
"If you don't need to defeat all pirates, just finding the final island can make you the Pirate King..."
"Excuse me, is there any difference between this and children playing house?"
Ten thousand meters deep in the sea, on the merchant ship.
The above was all Hanabi explaining to Kuina, thinking there was no problem with this idea.
"So, pirates are laughable."
Kuina nodded gently, continuing to swing her sword.
After swinging a few times, Kuina had a question: "Since he didn't subdue other great pirates, where did the title Pirate King come from?"
"Because he found the final island? But since no one knows where it is, how can they be sure he found it?"
Eh?
Good question.
Hanabi was also a bit confused.
That's right, who can confirm Roger found it.
He couldn't have started a live broadcast or advertised everywhere. Did the whole world know Roger gathered the historical coordinates?
"Your Majesty, isn't this a bit boring?"
Mikoto didn't understand why two little girls were discussing pirates, so she looked at Lucian.
"Whatever."
Lucian was not interested in the Pirate King and the final island.
He looked at the table.
"Hiss!"
The things on it were enough to make people all over the world gasp and cause countless people to go crazy.
All Devil Fruits.
Filled the long table.
When Lucian merged the islands of the three seas, he incidentally pulled all the Devil Fruits in the three seas over.
Among them were a few good fruits.
Flame-Flame, Dark-Dark, Slip-Slip, Barrier.
As well as the blond Five Elder's Door-Door Fruit, the mustached Five Elder's Reject-Reject Fruit, Buggy's Chop-Chop Fruit, etc.
"Door-Door Fruit... Minato, Kaguya, Obito, etc., are all suitable."
This kind of top-tier ability.
Who doesn't want it?
Lucian was interested, but wouldn't eat it, just comprehend the spatial energy within.
But looking at the fruit in Lucian's hand, Mikoto asked curiously: "Your Majesty, I feel you are more interested in the Dark-Dark Fruit?"
"You are right."
The Dark-Dark Fruit in Lucian's hand.
Is the fuse of the big event in the original timeline.
Hum!
Under Mikoto's sideways glance, Lucian took another fruit.
Then.
That fruit.
Also became exactly like the Dark-Dark Fruit.
At least the appearance was exactly the same.
"That fruit just now..."
"Zoan?"
Mikoto flipped through the Devil Fruit encyclopedia, her eyes extremely colorful.
Mikoto's first thought was that someone was going to be pitted, His Majesty wanted to cause trouble.
Top-tier Logia appearance, most ordinary Zoan inside, whoever eats it would die of anger, right?
"The New World is too quiet."
Whoosh!
The Zoan fruit that looked like the Dark-Dark Fruit was thrown into space by Lucian.
The next moment.
Landed in the Whitebeard Pirates' territory in the New World.
"Please begin your performance."
"Marshall D. Teach!"
Lucian had no other meaning, just looking for some fun, watching a play.
"Your Majesty, Fish-Man Island is here."
The attack on the East State was stable.
The so-called strong people here were vulnerable, even if there were individual exceptions, they still couldn't withstand the Empire's soldiers.
South State.
After capturing Akainu, resumed the plain attack.
But in the southeast corner of the South State.
A charming woman with long red-brown curly hair was sitting lazily, chuckling: "Still running? Little sister."
No answer.
In a small house in front of the woman, a little girl with long pink hair curled up, full of shame and annoyance.
"Damn woman, you are the little sister, your whole family are little sisters."
Thinking so in her heart, the little girl dared not make a sound, afraid the other party was bluffing.
"Little kitten, sister found you."
Terumi Mei stood up, walked to the door, and prepared to push it open.
But the door opened.
An old woman looking like seventy years old walked out, somewhat dazed and dim-sighted, asking uncertainly: "...Is that Natasha?"
"Wuwu, my poor granddaughter, the pirates finally released you, you've grown so big."
"Come let grandma hug you."
Under Terumi Mei's lightly twitching eyelids, the old lady with tearful eyes walked tremblingly, opening her arms to hug.
"Really didn't expect..."
Terumi Mei turned slightly sideways, her expression playful: "I just called you little sister, and you call me granddaughter."
"This personality, I like it."
The old lady looked confused and full of grief: "Sigh, don't recognize grandma, grandma's heart hurts so much."
"Forget it, a place of sadness, grandma is leaving."
The old lady finished speaking and turned to leave.
Act!
Continue acting.
Terumi Mei watched the old lady perform quietly, her acting exaggerated.
"Whether you turn into eight, eighteen, or eighty, your Reiatsu won't change."
"The hide-and-seek game ends here."
Really recognized?
Jewelry Bonney was somewhat shocked, and ran away without thinking.
"Let's see how far you can run."
After Terumi Mei came out of seclusion.
Came to the South State to help, and relax by the way, saw a little girl constantly secretly changing her age, trying to muddle through and leave the South State.
Aroused Terumi Mei's interest, scaring while chasing slowly.
Until now.
"Come here."
Terumi Mei's spiritual power chased over, wrapped around the old lady, and pulled her back.
"Let go of this old lady! This old lady can walk, let go quickly!"
After being pulled back, the old lady turned directly into a pink-haired little girl, struggling and shouting extremely fiercely.
"Pfft, this old lady?"
Terumi Mei really laughed. This girl is so fierce at such a young age, what will she become when she grows up.
"Hmph, I admit I fell into your hands, my bad luck."
Bonney snorted and turned her head away.
But when Bonney turned her head, a faint light flashed on her hand, patting directly on Terumi Mei.
Hum!
Terumi Mei's body shrank.
From looking like a 20-something 御姐 (cool, mature older sister), she turned into an eight or nine-year-old cute little girl.
Swish!
Bonney jumped aside, smiling proudly: "Call me little sister? Come on, call me big sister, or I'll hit you."
Her ability can change people into old or young by touch, and can also turn herself into a child or an old person at will.
Although she couldn't run away, it didn't hinder Bonney from laughing smugly.
"This ability is really good."
To Bonney's astonishment, Terumi Mei still looked lazy, looking at her.
Muttering incomprehensible words.
"Ordinary men always like eighteen-year-old young women, but sometimes they also want to experience 28, 38, right?"
"His Majesty is also a man. If I always look 20-something, there will be no freshness."
"..."
What are you talking about?
Shouldn't you be panicked?
In Bonney's shock, Terumi Mei looked up and smiled lightly: "From now on, you are my secretary, understand?"
Then, Terumi Mei spun around on the spot, satisfied: "If His Majesty sees this, maybe he will hug me, really looking forward to it."
His Majesty?
Lord of the Empire, a man, right?
Bonney finally understood the other party's meaning. She wants to use her ability to change her age to attract that Lord of the Empire.
A vixen?
"I refuse!"
Bonney shouted.
"Refusal is not allowed."
Terumi Mei's small body erupted with tyrannical Reiatsu, knocking Bonney unconscious on the spot.
Packed and taken away.
West State.
Chaos.
Bang!
A figure smashed heavily to the ground.
Swish.
Namikaze Minato landed on the ground, saying calmly: "I announced before, before the Empire completely occupies the West State, no one is allowed to leave. Those who cross the border die."
"Pfft cough cough..."
Laffitte coughed up blood violently, looking at Namikaze Minato with horror.
A person knows their own affairs.
As the sheriff of the West Blue, notorious for excessive violence, his reputation is worse than pirates.
With the Empire descending, Laffitte dared not guarantee whether such a person would be killed, so he chose to flee.
Used his ability to spread his wings and fly out of the West State.
But from the center of the West State, flying out of the West State is too far, too far. Flew for two or three days without flying out, consuming too much stamina.
But thousands of islands merged into a large state, Laffitte could only find a giant eagle in the sky, stepping on it to continue flying.
"Just a little bit, I was just a little bit away!"
When Laffitte was carrying the giant eagle in the sky, about to fly out of the West State territory and cross the coastline.
Laffitte only saw a golden flash pass by and suffered a heavy blow.
Falling from the sky.
If he didn't have some strength, he would have turned into a corpse upon landing.
"Damn it, just a little bit!"
Laffitte's eyes were full of unwillingness. Those Empire soldiers didn't notice, but he was kicked back by this man.
"Unwillingness is useless!"
Namikaze Minato didn't kick the other party to death just to see who it was. Now having seen, he raised his finger.
Whoosh!
A small Holy Destruction Arrow burst from his fingertip.
Rushing towards the heavily injured Laffitte on the ground like a laser.
"Clang!"
At the same instant.
A cane sword blocked the laser, and stood motionless in front of Laffitte.
A steady voice rang out.
"Your Excellency from the Holy Empire, attacking without determining the other party's good or evil, isn't it a bit too harsh?"
"What if it's just a commoner in a hurry to go out? Strength is not a problem, this old man is a commoner."
Laffitte was stunned.
Someone saved a person like him?
But when Laffitte looked up, he saw a middle-aged man wearing wooden clogs.
Surprisingly.
The other party had his eyes closed, with an X-shaped scar on his forehead, like a blind man.
"Rules are rules. Regardless of the reason, violating them is a capital crime."
Namikaze Minato answered calmly, having discovered the other party long ago.
The blind man's words were not questioning.
Somewhat confused.
"The Empire is really domineering."
The blind man sighed with emotion, without mood swings, gentle.
And continued to speak:
"However, perhaps only dominance can manage better. Stopping killing with killing is not necessarily wrong, especially in this extremely chaotic world."
"This old man Issho, greets Your Excellency."
Laffitte was confused.
So polite.
Save me, make friends later.
