Pirate's Freedom

It's dark at night, and the town of Rogge has returned to calm.

……

Click!

"The escape of the last four people was all due to my initial negligence..."

She raised her right hand and lowered it, lowered her red eyes, and took a deep breath.

"That's what happened, if nothing else..."

Click!

"Ain," Hina said, "go back."

"Yes, I'm leaving first."

After another salute, she turned and walked to the door, turning the handle.

click!

After a soft sound, the door closed again.

It was still the same office, but now there was a different person on the sofa.

"What do you want to say?"

Click!

"But say nothing."

The sofa was really short for him, and his feet that were resting on the coffee table had popped out from the other side and were about to fall to the ground.

"Keep the words in your heart."

The fingers of both hands were spread out in front of him, and he carefully looked at the rounded fingernails on the fingertips. Porusalino spoke in a lazy voice without raising his head.

"It's so scary. Are all young people today so wealthy?"

"That's your problem."

Hina stood in front of her desk, facing him with her arms folded.

"Under those circumstances, the [prisoner] who caused trouble in the base was let go."

She sighed slightly.

“It’s normal for subordinates to have questions when they don’t know anything.”

"Oh...don't you know anything..."

Porusalino looked up.

"What do you two think?"

"..."

Smoker smoked a cigar silently by the window.

"Smog, you smoke too much," Porusalino said suddenly, "Smoking is harmful to your health."

"General Porusalino...are you serious?"

Smoker was puzzled.

"Before you get ready."

Hina said calmly.

"It is also necessary to prevent the situation from getting out of hand."

"After all -"

"We don't know enough about Tata Tot."

She said, looking directly at Kizaru.

"In this case, following the judgment of experienced people is the best strategy."

"Ah...is that so?"

Kizaru was noncommittal.

"Porlu~Porlu~Porlu~"

The phone on the table rang, and Smoker leaned over and picked up the receiver.

"Porphyrin!"

"Smog?"

"Yes, it's me."

"Ah la la la... We haven't seen each other for a long time, but let's give the phone bug to Porusalino first."

After walking a few steps, Smoker handed the phone bug to Porusalino.

"It's General Aokiji."

"Oh……"

Polusalino said.

"Are you so well-informed?"

"Polusalino."

Along with the sound of waves, Kuzan's voice came from the phone bug.

"You have arrived in Rogge Town."

"That's what you say."

he said with a smile.

"Aren't you the fastest?"

"Don't say that."

Porusalino put his foot down.

"I've been hesitating and dilly-dallying for a while."

"Ah la la...that's it..."

Wow! ! !Bang bang bang! ! !

The deafening sound drowned out Kuzan's words.

Just from the sound alone, one can already imagine the scene of the huge waves.

"Hey, hey, hey - Kuzan -"

"What did you say?"

"I say……"

Roar! ! !

A violent roar suddenly sounded, and even the phone bug himself was startled, and his body shrank subconsciously.

"Hey! Kuzan!"

Porusalino picked his ears and frowned.

"It's a bit noisy over there."

"Ah, is it?"

Kuzan was a bit of an afterthought.

"Sorry--"

The moment he finished speaking, the other side suddenly became quiet, the roaring suddenly stopped, and the sound of the waves also disappeared.

There was only the sound of crackling ice, mixed with the sound of the bicycle chain turning, and then Kuzan's voice sounded.

"I'm crossing the windless zone, don't be too anxious, just wait a little longer."

"Hey... Kuzan..."

Porusalino's voice was a little helpless.

"What do I really look like in your mind?"

……

As the night passed, everyone gathered at the bow of the ship.

"That's Upside Down Mountain—"

At the end of the field of vision, a reddish-brown, endless [Wall] is already in sight.

"Oh oh oh!"

"Amazing!"

“It’s so spectacular~”

There were bursts of exclamations.

"Upside Down Mountain is so long!"

"To be precise, it is the intersection of the Red Continent and the Grand Line. Upside Down Mountain is part of the Red Continent."

Nami looked a little stiff while explaining the common sense about Upside Down Mountain.

"Oh oh oh! It's really amazing!"

Everyone was very excited.

"Here at Upside Down Mountain, four ocean currents from all four seas will rush along the canal to the top of the mountain."

After a pause, Nami continued.

"Ocean currents will roll to the bottom of the sea when they hit the land..."

"The Red Earth Continent is so awesome!"

"If I make a mistake..."

Valley</span> “Upside Down Mountain is so awesome!”

"Everyone!" Nami suddenly shouted, "Listen to me carefully!"

"...!"

Looking back at Upside Down Mountain, everyone looked at her.

"What's wrong? Nami?"

Nokigao said strangely.

"Everyone, listen to me."

Nami repeated.

"..."

Karina, Nokigao, and Ila all fell silent.

"Ocean currents that do not follow the canal will hit the land and roll to the bottom of the sea. If there is a mistake and the ship does not enter the canal..."

After a moment of silence, she whispered.

"We will be buried here."

"..."

Everyone looked at her, and she lowered her head.

"This is no joke..."

"Understood...now-"

Nami, who looked uneasy, clasped her hands tightly.

"Your lives are in my hands."

she said hesitantly.

"if……"

"Nami," interrupted her.

"You think I'm the kind of-"

Karina suddenly spoke.

"Who would give away treasures to others in vain?"

"Nami is a stingy idiot!"

Nokigao made a face with a smile.

"But needless to say, Nami, I have seen all your efforts!"

"Ah! Nami! I understand!"

After an expression of sudden realization, Ila raised her hands happily.

"Complete this level! We are now on the new map!"

"..."

After seeing their expressions one by one, Nami closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

“The moment of entrance is very important!”

"Bailey!" she shouted, opening her eyes suddenly, "I'll leave the sail to you!"

"Captain Nami——"

Bailey's voice sounded out of nowhere.

"Please give the order."

"So--"

Nami looked around.

"Everyone--"

After a moment of silence.

"Let's set off!! Enter the Grand Line!!"

……

Placed on the street, a small stall market spontaneously formed in Cocoa West Village.

"Why did you buy so many vegetables today?"

"There are guests at home."

"Aah~"

The fat aunt who sells vegetables teased the fat little aunt who vowed to collect all the Dragon Balls.

"This is really strange!"

"Tata Tote, this fish is for you. I just caught it this morning."

He quickly passed the straw rope through the gills of the fish, and the fish seller handed it over with a fresh sea fish.

Carrying large and small bags in his hands, Tata Tot's hands were not free. He hooked the knot of the straw rope on the little finger of his right hand.

"Thanks."

"Thank you for your patronage."

On the way home, at the end of the street.

"It's better to say that I have some guesses...or some doubts..."

Dragging a long shadow, a tall and thin figure walked slowly.

"When I saw your daughter, I still thought..."

Looking at the man, who seemed not to know what expression to make, Porusalino just grinned.

"The result...as expected..."

The blow through the chest seemed to still hurt.

The elusive monster boy has gradually become blurry.

"Tata Tot..."

relatively.

The mature man with a little vicissitudes of life in front of him became clear.

"Your changes...are so big..."

……

Seven years ago, the situation was unprecedentedly changed in 800 years.

On the red earth continent that surrounds the world, the Holy Land at the center of the world is burning with war in Mariejoia.

Everything is coming to an end.

A golden light spread across the sky, and the first [Support] finally arrived here.

The white coat on his body kept fluttering, and the word "Justice" on the back blurred and deformed in the rising heat.

"..."

Porusalino, who was about to be promoted to general, looked at the scene in front of him——

The flames burned the sky red, as if the world was being re-melted.

As far as the eye can see, there are wreckage everywhere. The charred bones are so brittle that when you step on them, they make a soft crunching sound.

There is no way to tell why. The ashes that burned away all the glory and glory are like heavy gray snow drifting, slowly covering up the sporadic brilliance of rare jewels among the rubble.

And in this near-death destruction, the only thing that is relatively intact...

Porusalino slowly turned around and looked behind him.

The center of power that controls the world, the embodiment of [the world] itself——

With his back to the sight of the burning world, he slowly raised his head...

The magnificent Pangu City still stands here.

step... step... step...

A person who looks extremely ordinary, has no momentum at all, and has nothing to do with the word strong...

The thin, sad and tired man stepped out of Pangu City.

In the man's arms, swaddled in a gray coat, the little baby with pink hair curled up and slept soundly.

I've never seen him and I don't know him at all.

Obviously...

Porusalino could detect no threat in him.

but……

The man looked over.

Inexplicably, Porusalino reached into the lining pocket of his suit, took out a pack of cigarettes, and tapped one out neatly.

"This gentleman—"

He said.

"Would you like a cigarette?"

"No."

The man turned and left, his words floating in the wind.

"Smoking is harmful to health."
