Pirate Throne of Salt

"If a swordsman wants to become a swordsman, there is a common standard in the sea, which is to cut iron, right?"

"Yes, Senior Rayleigh, if I use my full strength now, I can cut iron with my family's sword."

Rayleigh nodded but said nothing. He took a small bamboo pole and played with it.

"Then have you ever thought about it, if a person wants to truly become a swordsman, what else is needed besides the superb swordsmanship of cutting iron?"

Shigezuki Tokisheng started to answer directly according to Rayleigh's words without even thinking.

"You also need to have a supremely sharp knife!"

"Hahahaha, you are right, you need a supremely sharp knife, but what if one day, you find that someone can compete with the supremely sharp knife you talk about using only a piece of bamboo pole, do you believe it?"

Shi Sheng looked at the bamboo pole in Lei Li's hand and nodded.

"Boom!" Rayleigh waved lightly, and an astonishing slash passed by Shi Sheng's side and struck a hill behind him.

"Crack!"

The mountain is gradually splitting apart.

"Feel something?"

Rayleigh asked Shisheng who was at a loss.

But the latter shook his head in confusion.

"Senior Rayleigh, I can only feel your power, unparalleled power."

"It's normal if you don't feel it. It doesn't matter. You still have relatively little experience. In the past few years, just follow me to learn basic swordsmanship. You need a wedge before you can truly step into the path of a swordsman."

"Ah."

……

From that day on, the fates of Matthew and Shi Sheng seemed to be intertwined. They were training day after day. Are they boring?Of course it's boring, but Matthew, who is extremely good at catching fish, has figured out the trick, so...

Raleigh would only stay on the island for two weeks every month, and the two of them would spend the rest of the time on their own, so when Raleigh wasn't paying attention, Matthew would secretly save some salt he had created, and even Don't tell me, it tastes pretty good.

Ever since, after a long period of exploration, the island has gradually changed its flavor, just like the two people's back garden. When they have nothing to do, they can find a sea king to pickle it, or when they have nothing to do, they can go into the old forest to hunt. Matthew, who can understand some of the animal language during the autumn breeze, also reached an agreement with a baboon tribe in the forest. The baboon tribe will provide the two with fresh meat in exchange for the salt that Matthew secretly hides.

For some reason, these baboons are particularly keen on salt. After accidentally eating Matthew's pickled meat strips, they completely fell in love with the taste. So free labor came. Matthew and the two could not kill the animals on the island. , but these baboons can hunt.

So the two of them lived a very nourishing life. The only bad thing was that they hadn't seen the opposite sex for who knows how long. Matthew felt that he would definitely become weird if he continued like this.

In the past four years, countless pirate groups have been established and destroyed on this sea. In the era of great pirates, everyone wanted to find the great secret treasure left by Roger, but without exception, they all failed.

However, there are still many pirate groups that are growing day by day. For example, Kaido, one of the future four emperors who is entrenched in the country of Wano, has continuously challenged the strong men on the sea in four years. The title of "Hundred Beasts" has gradually spread on the sea. .

BIGMOM in the new world, the kingdoms formed by Charlotte Lingling have also begun to take shape. This is a behemoth that even the navy is not willing to easily provoke.

Not to mention the reputation of Whitebeard, who is even more powerful than the two of them. These heroes of the sea continue to expand their power in the new world and annex the pirate groups that go to the new world one after another.

The World Government's control over the New World is obviously weaker than its control over the Four Seas, but this is understandable. In the entire One Piece world, the New World is only a small area, while the Four Seas is extremely huge. In comparison, The New World does not seem to be very important, so the Navy has always turned a blind eye to the big pirates in the New World. After all, pirates are just pirates after all, and it is difficult to unite them.And leaving a few large pirate groups to destroy the smaller pirate groups can also help the navy share the pressure, why not?

……

But in this turbulent era, a country is still closed to the outside world. From the rulers to the citizens, everyone here is deaf to what is happening outside the window. This country is called the country of Wano.

In the spring of 1502 in the Haien Calendar, it was the cherry blossom season in Kuri, located in Wano Country.

When the breeze blows, cherry blossoms are flying all over the sky, and the entire Jiuli seems to be immersed in a sea of ​​pink.

"Lord Oden, Orochi and the others have built multiple weapons factories in parts of Kuri."

A warrior was talking to the man sitting in the pavilion about the specific situation of Jiuli.

"boom!"

Kozuki Oden kept slamming his hand on the table, and he smashed the table in half with such force.

"Asshole, he didn't abide by the agreement. The country of Wano must be founded. Who is he?"

Tianyue on the side handed over a glass of sake, and gently rubbed Kozuki Oden's shoulders with a pair of jade fingers.

"Husband, you have done enough for Jiuli over the years, don't be impulsive."

Kozuki Oden waved his hand to signal the samurai to go out first, then turned to look at his wife and said helplessly.

"Black Carbon Orochi, his desire and ambition for power have been revealed. If we don't stop him, the entire country of Wano, let alone the founding of the country, may be in dire straits."

"But behind the Black Carbon Orochi is that monster Kaido. It's too risky for you to do this. I won't allow you to take this risk with your own life." As the wife of Kozuki Oden, Amazuki Toki certainly understands the current situation in Wano Country. But he cares more about his family.

Kozuki Oden caressed his wife's cheek.

"Don't worry, take good care of the children, and leave the rest to me."

……

In the afternoon, groups of warriors gathered outside the Daming Mansion in Jiuli.

"According to Lord Oden's order, Jiuli will enter a state of combat readiness from now on!"

In the Daming Mansion, a fish-man-like samurai appeared in Oden's room.

"Lord Oden, are you looking for me?"

"Well, He Song, Jiuli may have entered the final countdown, you should have felt it."

"Sir, do you really want to..."

Kozuki Oden signaled Kawamatsu not to speak for the time being, and walked to a drawer alone to take out a letter.

"If I fail this time, give this letter to Madam."

"Lord Oden! Behind him is Kaido, please think again!"

"Kawamatsu! If I don't do anything because the enemy is too strong, then what qualifications do I have to inherit the name of Mitsuki!"

"But……"

"There is no but! Kawamatsu, the future of Wano Country lies with us, we can never always stick to our own one-third of an acre of land!"

"I must remove all obstacles within 20 years before I can usher in the prosperous age more than 20 years later!"
