One Piece: Rise of an Empire

"Shanks, you are really slow." Des said.

"There was a delay on the road, but why did you make such a big commotion." Shanks said.

"Tch, you have to thank me, if it weren't for me, Ace and Luffy, whom you had high hopes for, might have been buried here."

Of course Des knew that Luffy couldn't die, but Shanks didn't.

Although Blackbeard is arrogant, he knows that stopping the war is the best result for him. Instead of being the same as the original book, he waved his hands at the pirates and planned to leave.

Shanks and Sengoku looked at each other, and they nodded, imperceptibly reaching an agreement.

Warring States looked up to the sky and shouted.

"The war is over!"

As the sound of the Warring States Period sounded, the navy cheered.

Sailors began to rescue the wounded.

Shanks walked up to Sengoku and said, "Leave Whitebeard's body to me for burial."

The remnants of the Whitebeard Pirates who remained here also agreed with Shanks' approach.

"Hey, Shanks!"

With a familiar movement, Bucky also grabbed Shanks by the collar.

"Bucky, long time no see!"

When old friends meet, Shanks shows a sincere smile.

"The three of us are together again. Hahahaha" Des also came over.

Indeed, the three of them haven't been together for many years, and Des hasn't seen Bucky since they separated in Donghai.

"You two, if you hadn't lost my treasure map back then, I, Bucky, might be better than you! Damn it!"

Seeing that Bucky was so arrogant to the two sea emperors, the navy's positioning of Bucky also changed.

Bucky is definitely not as simple as a little pirate in the East China Sea. Why would such a character lurk in the East China Sea?
Could it be that the Golden Lion was defeated in the East China Sea some time ago, and it was also the work of this big man?
Horror!
"Hey, Bucky was wrong with us at the beginning, but let me deal with things first, we have time to get together." Shanks said.

Bucky nodded.

At this time, Des said: "Why don't you go back to Daxia with me first? Let's get together?"

Summer?

The pirates around Bucky also got excited when they heard Daxia's words.

They all looked at Bucky, as if to say, "Boss, promise him!"

Of course, Bucky also noticed their winks, deliberately pretended to be deep, raised his chin, and said to Des: "Since you are so sincere in your invitation, then I will reluctantly agree."

When the navy heard the news, it was inconceivable that if such a powerful figure became a Daxia, it would be very bad for the navy.

-----

Des accompanied Shanks to bury Whitebeard.

"Whitebeard is a character. This is the best home for such a person." Des said with emotion.

"Yeah, the era of Whitebeard is over."

The dead members of the Whitebeard Pirates were also buried beside Whitebeard, and the big sharp knife that had been fighting with Whitebeard for many years was also placed in front of Whitebeard's grave.

After doing this, Des planned to leave with Shanks.

"Shanks, where are you going?"

Shanks shook his head and said, "Take you for a ride?"

Des scratched his head in embarrassment, and laughed loudly: "Shanks, you still understand me so well."

Immediately afterwards, Des followed Shanks and left here. Of course, Bucky and his followers followed them.

------

Although the navy was victorious in this war, the losses were still heavy.

The entire naval headquarters was destroyed and there is no way to repair it.

Strictly speaking, there is never a winner in a war.

But starting today, the Whitebeard Pirates may no longer exist.

Even if Ace can provoke the leader, but the Whitebeard Pirates without Whitebeard, can they still be called the Whitebeard Pirates?

A few days later, an uninhabited island.

"Drinking Ades, your alcohol capacity is still so bad, hahahahaha."

Des's face was flushed at this time, and it was obvious that he had drunk too much.

"Shanks, Bucky, you guys, don't underestimate me."

As he spoke, Des picked up the bottle and drank it.

At this moment a newsbird landed beside them.

Des picked up a newspaper.

A piece of news about Ace and Luffy going to visit Whitebeard's grave.

It's also worth checking in.

Wait, Des' wine is a little more sober.

Paying homage to Whitebeard, does that mean that the two-year practice agreement has begun?

Tsk tsk, the story goes by so fast.

"Hey, what's the news on Des, let me take a look." Shanks grabbed the newspaper.

"Hey, Luffy!"

"Straw Hat Boy!"

Bucky and Shanks shouted at the same time.

------

Inside an ancient castle.

A man with green hair was kneeling on the ground.

"Please teach me swordsmanship!"

Hawkeye looked at Sauron on the ground, thoughtful.

"It's a disgrace to a swordsman if you do this, but why do you want to learn swordsmanship from me?"

"To surpass you!"

Hawkeye laughed instead.

"Hahahaha, it's really interesting to personally train a swordsman who defeats himself. You go to defeat the animals outside first. If you defeat them, I may consider giving you swordsmanship!"

Sauron didn't speak, and planned to go out directly.

"Hey, you guy, you're still hurt!" Perona shouted.

Sauron was unmoved and persisted.

Hawkeye looked at Sauron who left and muttered to himself.

"A person like you can give up your dignity, and you have found something more important."

------

Great Xia, the imperial capital.

Sanji knocked on the gate of the palace.

Linlin came out and said, "What's the matter?"

"I agree to your request, please make me stronger!"

------

Raleigh looked at the two people in front of him.

"You really decided?" Reilly said with a smile.

"It's decided, I will practice with you for two years." Luffy said.

And Ace next to him also nodded, since he got the burning fruit, he has indeed been negligent in the practice of domineering and physical skills.

In the next two years, he must become stronger, and then support the Whitebeard Pirates.

Lei Li is a good teacher. Looking at the two people who are about to become his disciples, he is also thinking about the practice plan for them in his heart.

Raleigh suddenly remembered that the last time he was a teacher was decades ago, teaching the young Des.

"Time flies so fast!"

--------

After the war, the navy also began to recruit troops. Sengoku also applied for retirement and recommended Aokiji as the next marshal.

On the other side, Akainu also got the support of Wu Laoxing.

On the contrary, Huang Yuan didn't have any opinion about the position of marshal, as if it had nothing to do with him.

"Warring States, you really decided to retire?" Steel Gu Kong said.

Sengoku nodded.
