Arkham in the pirate world

Deep in the desert, Tieyima City has seen the light of day again.

In Albana, a group of workers are also excavating the mausoleum west of the royal capital, in the name of rebuilding the tomb of the Neferutali family.

Crocodile's presence here, and then the collapse of the tomb, are all very imaginative.

The Five Old Stars know very well what Alabasta has.

Now that Alabasta has been destroyed, that thing cannot fall into the hands of people with ulterior motives.

Meeting the same person at different times, sometimes, the fate is so strange.

Zoro, who had already understood the power of "cutting iron", challenged Mihawk, but still ended up in defeat. The difference was that he survived two more swords than when he met Mihawk earlier.

Mihawk did not kill Zoro. On the one hand, he recognized Zoro's will and belief. On the other hand, he came for Sanji's cooking and had to give him face no matter what.

In fact, few people know that Mihawk himself is a master of cooking. When he lives alone, he cooks and cooks by himself. His requirements for delicious food are naturally more refined.

After tasting Sanji's food and leaving a good review, Mihawk left. Not long ago, he received news that the World Government was going to hold a Shichibukai Conference.

This is the first communication between the World Government and the Shichibukai since Crocodile was captured.

Although there is no friendship between the Shichibukai, in a sense, this is a loose group with little communication between them, but they have common interests.

Of course, Mihawk is not interested in those interests or intrigues, he is only interested in some people involved in this time.

The Straw Hats continue to move forward, and their next destination is a place called "Magic Valley Town".

At this time, the boat Ace was on was also heading towards Demon Valley Town. He had just received the news from Skaar that Blackbeard was entrenched in Demon Valley Town. He also told him about the Red Haired Pirates and hoped to stop them. His encounter with Blackbeard.

Ace was not at ease with the subsequent news. Although he knew that the redhead might have done this out of concern for himself, it actually aroused Ace's inner rebellion.

Because what the red hair did was undoubtedly telling the Whitebeard Pirates that Ace was not good enough to fight against Teach.

How could Ace, who had a temper as fierce as fire, admit that he couldn't do it?

Even when he faced Whitebeard, he challenged him a hundred times. After receiving Saki's care and gradually understanding the meaning of the three words "Whitebeard", he gradually gave in.

So, facing Teach who killed his friend and betrayed the Whitebeard Pirates, Ace's heart was filled with guilt and burning with raging flames.

Moreover, this matter is the first big thing that Ace encounters after becoming the captain of the second team. If he can't handle it well, how can he gain a foothold in the Whitebeard Pirates?

out of youth pride

out of inner self-esteem

For many reasons, even his father tried to dissuade him in a subtle way, telling him that it would be fine even if Teach was not caught, but he still did not sway Ace's mind.

This is Ace's obsession

Another reason is that Ace learned from the newspaper sent by Newsbird that there are now more than ten pirate groups and many bounty hunters gathered in Magic Valley Town, and the purpose of all of them is only One, the Straw Hat Pirates, who had just entered the Grand Line and had a bounty of over million.

It has to be said that since the emergence of the Shadow Newspaper Industry, it has greatly promoted the development of the news industry. In order to improve its competitiveness and compete with the Shadow Newspaper Industry, the world's largest newspaper, World Economic News, is also changing and pays more attention to news. Timeliness and speed make it more and more convenient for people to obtain information.

Of course, Newsbird's salary has also increased a lot. In order to make more money, Newsbird families have decided to have more children.

As for how these people in Demon Valley Town knew the route the Straw Hats sailed on?

It's very simple. After the Straw Hats choose to set off from Alabasta, unless there is an accident on the way and they cross another route, otherwise, the record pointer coming out of Alabasta will point to the Demon Valley Town, to be precise, the Demon Valley Town. The empty island in the valley town.

Blackbeard Teach actually stayed in Demon Valley Town for many days, which inevitably made Ace wonder if their target was also Luffy and the others.

Therefore, whether it was for himself or for Luffy and the others, Ace had to go to Demon Valley Town.

In the Capital of Seven Waters, outside the residence of Franky's family, Franky looked at the large wooden box brought by the cargo ship. He, who was always cheerful and casual, had a complicated expression at this time.

"Big Brother"

The boys around him looked at Franky with confusion, who rarely showed melancholy, even hesitation and melancholy.

This is so rare.

"Brother, isn't this the wood from Adam's tree that you want to buy? Why did it arrive and you're not happy?" Zanbai asked.

Frankie took a deep breath and said, "It's nothing. I just remembered some unhappy past events."

Before he left, he stretched out his hand and pried open the large wooden box that was tightly nailed. Inside was a thick piece of wood with a special wooden texture.

This is the branch of the precious tree Adam, the best material for shipbuilding in the age of sail.

It is said that a ship built from the treasure tree Adam will have a ship spirit living in it. In times of crisis, such as bad weather such as a storm, the ship spirit will appear to help the crew tide over the difficulties.

Of course, it is difficult to verify the authenticity of such a legend, because there are too few ships that can be built with the treasure tree Adam.

Each of them is a legendary ship, such as the Pirate King Roger's Al Jackson, and the legendary ghost ship Flying Holland, which was cursed by the sea Vanderdyken and was trapped in the deep sea forever. Person number

These ships are praised by the world because of the stories of their own experiences.

For various reasons, the price of Baoshu Adam's wood on the black market has remained high. For example, the piece of wood in front of him appeared in the auction house of the Chambord Islands. After Frankie heard about it, he spent million without hesitation. Dobelli, snap it up.

Franky is not short of money now. In addition to opening a ship dismantling company in the Seven Islands of Water, he is also a special designer of Arkham Group.

The Ship Dismantling Company was just established by Franky to gather the shipwrights who were wandering the streets without work, so that they would not become pirates, gangsters, and harass the local people.

Being a specially hired designer is his real money-making job. Over the years, the mechanical products he has designed and developed for the Arkham Group have made his net worth more than one billion Baileys. He is one of the Seven Islands in the Water, second only to Ace. The rich man in Baku.

However, for Franky, money is only external, and his heart is still full of guilt and sadness. As he continues to design and manufacture products, his heart as a shipwright is also restless.

For every shipbuilder, it is undoubtedly the biggest dream to obtain a piece of wood from the Adam tree and use it to build a super ship.

Now, that dream is just around the corner.

However, Franky once again thought about the ship he built, but it became the thing that killed his mentor Tom, and he was afraid again.

"Ugh"

Frankie turned around with a look of loneliness on his face. Life is as lonely as snow.
