Pirate's silver-winged evil star

The East China Sea, somewhere on a calm sea.

Since the Hunter Guild established its largest branch here, the East China Sea has become the most livable sea area in the world. Here you can not only enjoy the quietest living environment in the world, but also experience specialty products and wealth from all over the world. A decent life.

In just five years, Donghai has undergone earth-shaking changes. In these few years, the per capita income in Donghai has increased several times, and there are almost no homeless people.

Driven by commerce, every village and town is now severely short of manpower. In the East China Sea, as long as you are willing to work, you can easily earn money that people in other sea areas have not been able to earn for decades.

On a large luxury ship, three young men were sitting on the deck basking in the sun, drinking and discussing the next trip.

Lying in the middle is a young man wearing orange clothes. He has short short hair, a few freckles on his face, and perfect muscle curves on his body, which represents the terrifying power condensed in his body.

Next to him is Sabo, who is wearing a noble hat. Sabo is wearing blue and black clothes. His short blond hair ripples with the sea breeze, and he also has a smile on his face.

The one on the far right is Luffy, who didn't eat the Devil Fruit or get the Straw Hat. Because the Hunters Guild immediately established a branch in the East China Sea and joined the navy to block all roads back to the East China Sea from the Grand Line, he already has a bounty on his back. Shanks had no chance to return to the East China Sea, let alone pass on Straw Hat's faith.

This led to the fact that no one gave Luffy the dream of becoming a pirate, so his current dream is to become a hunter with his two brothers. After becoming an A-level hunter and having the qualifications to form a hunting group, the three brothers will form their own The hunting group traveled around the world.

Exploration, treasure hunting, fighting, this world is colorful and there are too many wonderful stories waiting for them to explore.

The purpose of their trip at this time is to participate in the annual Youth Group Competition of the World's Best Martial Arts Competition. Different from the World's Best Martial Arts Competition held every four years, the youth group competition is mainly to screen potential young people, so the winner It's not the most important factor, so you don't need to wait that long. The frequency of once a year is just right.

"Have you heard? Luffy? The winner of this competition will receive an ultra-rare Devil Fruit! It is said that the championship reward usually only appears in the adult category. The reason why it appears in the youth category this time is to celebrate the hunter. A recent special event for the guild.”

Lying on the sun lounger, Sabo looked at the sea level in the distance and said with some anticipation.

According to the information released by the Hunter Guild Headquarters, the rewards for this youth group competition will be the most generous in recent years. Anyone who can enter the top ten can unconditionally become the key training target of the Hunter Guild. In previous years, this was only available to the top three. treatment.

Although I don’t know the reason, the Hunter Guild has indeed spent a lot of money to attract more ambitious young people to participate.

"Yes, the legendary ultra-rare devil fruit can rival the powerful power of the phantom beasts. People can't help but look forward to it."

Ace said the same as he stretched out his hand to block the dazzling sunlight.

"Don't think about it, this Devil Fruit is mine!"

Luffy, who still had a childish look on his face, opened his mouth, smiled, and said very naturally.

"What are you talking about, Luffy? Our previous battles were 1742 wins, 45 draws, and 3 losses, so no matter how you look at it, this Devil Fruit should be mine!"

Sabo suddenly said with a smile, in the past few years, they not only learned knowledge in school, but also learned different martial arts from the hunters from the Grand Line.

They often sparred with each other, but in their teenage years, being older gave them a great advantage, so the younger Luffy rarely won against his two older brothers, and almost always ended in failure.

The battle between the two brothers Ace and Sabo was mutually exclusive, with no one having a clear advantage. The specific outcome depended entirely on who performed better.

"Hmph, in two more years, I will be the same age as you, and I will definitely surpass you!" Luffy said very unconvinced.

"But in two years we will be two years older! So you are still two years younger than us, right?"

Ace pointed out the error in Luffy's logic and laughed, filling the entire deck with a cheerful atmosphere.

After a while of laughter, the expressions of the three people were full of anticipation. They could not wait to get out of the East China Sea and witness the wider world.

Due to the peaceful environment of the East China Sea, the age for going to sea alone has been lowered to 14 years old. As long as they can pass the assessment of the Hunter Guild branch and confirm that they have the ability to stand alone, then young people who want to go to sea can be independent even if they have not reached the age of adulthood. Go to sea.

This year, Ace and Sabo had just reached the age where they could become independent, so they immediately couldn't wait to take Luffy away to meet the exciting sea together.

Of course, although they say they want to win the competition, they actually know that this road is very difficult.

The age limit for the youth group competition is 20 years old. Except for the first time, because it was held for the first time, the number of participants was not too many. In the remaining five years, every time the youth group competition was held, the champion was basically stuck at the 19-year-old limit. After all, for young people, a few years is enough to undergo earth-shaking changes.

As they are currently only 14 years old, they are participating in it more to experience life, find their own strength and positioning, and prepare carefully for future competitions.

Of course, except for Luffy, Luffy feels from the bottom of his heart that he can really win the championship, and he has no doubt about it.

After another small day, the three brothers' ship finally arrived at the end of the route, the Hunter's Guild branch in the East China Sea.

The East China Sea branch of the Hunter Guild was very rich and bought an island as its base. After five years of construction, the island has turned into an indestructible sea fortress.

The Hunter's Guild is located on the only way to enter the East China Sea from the Grand Line. This place used to be an abandoned desert island, and no one cared about it until the Hunter's Guild bought it.

Because they are too rich, all the armed forces of the East China Sea Hunters Guild branch use the latest researched technologies. The research results from the Great Route Scientific Research Base will be transformed into reality here as soon as possible, and the effect data will be tested.

There are warships patrolling here 24 hours a day. One cruiser carries five destroyers. The fuel is the newly invented high-efficiency Coke engine. Only three barrels of Coke are needed to ensure the consumption of a cruiser for one round trip.

Coupled with the various latest artillery weapons equipped on the hull, even a pirate group of hundreds or thousands of people would have a high chance of being overwhelmed by such a fleet.

Not only that, the patrol fleet is also equipped with a special emergency contact device. Once an invincible enemy is encountered, the patrol supervisor will immediately send a distress signal to the guild. The A-level hunters sitting at the Hunter Guild Headquarters will immediately dispatch to contact the outsiders. fighting.

With such a powerful armed force, almost no pirates in the East China Sea have been able to return from the Grand Route in the past three years, ensuring the safety of the entire East China Sea.

From the appearance, the East China Sea Hunters Guild looks like a city made of steel. Metal is the main theme here, which makes various types of alloys everywhere outside the city.

For example, the city wall is an invincible alloy developed by Germa. The city wall built by him can receive a punch from the admiral head-on, but the damage will not be destroyed.The police officers patrolling the city are also wearing the latest models of power armor. Although this makes them look like bloated fat men, in fact, wearing this armor, they even dare to challenge pirates who have made more than [-] million yuan. .

The cost of each set of these armors is more than [-] million beli. They are truly rich equipment. Only a wealthy organization like the East China Sea Hunters Guild dares to install it as regular equipment.

In addition to these, there are also mechanical vehicles running on the road, world-famous new alloy weapons, and high-rise buildings made entirely of metal. This city was once rated as the safest city in the world and the largest metal city in the world.

Because this was not their first time here, the three of them walked briskly to the entrance of the Hunter Guild branch, preparing to sign up for this year's youth group competition.

"Hey, Ace is here! Long time no see. Do you have any prey to sell today?"

As soon as the three brothers entered the door, the person in charge of reception immediately greeted them warmly.

During their daily practice, the three brothers often competed with wild beasts in the mountains, so they could often harvest some wild animal resources. In their spare time, they would bring them to the Hunters Guild for sale, so they were very familiar with the reception staff.

"There is no more prey. We are going to the Peking University Channel to participate in this year's youth competition. That is the legendary ultra-rare fruit. I really want to see it."

Ace responded to the other party with the same smile.

In order to improve the overall quality of life, etiquette has become a required course in schools. Although it is not as red tape as the orthodox nobles, the most basic etiquette has long become their habit.

The three of them yearn for freedom in their hearts, but unlike them as children, the three brothers are sunny and sunny at this time. Anyone who looks at them will feel that they will have great development in the future.

"It's so fast. Before you know it, you will be old enough to go to sea! Since you are leaving, just accept this thing. I wish you a safe journey!"

Putting a shell into Ace's hand, the receptionist laughed and said.

This is a shock shell that is a specialty of Sky Island. It is a fresh product that can only be purchased through formal channels in the East China Sea. The Hunter Guild controls the route between Sky Island and Qinghai, and this route is actually open to the East China Sea Business Alliance. .seven

Therefore, these precious sky islands can be purchased at a relatively reasonable price in the East China Sea. As soon as they reach the Grand Line, their prices will immediately increase several times. If they meet buyers who are in urgent need, they may even increase dozens or hundreds of times.

"What a precious gift. Thank you, Baxter. When we come back after victory, we will definitely give you a good gift." Ace was not polite and directly put the shock shell quilt into his pocket and said.

In fact, Baxter's gift is already a well-known secret in the East China Sea. As an old employee of the Hunter Guild, Baxter's salary is quite good even in the rich East China Sea. In the eyes of ordinary people, Sky Island Shellfish is very precious. Class is not unattainable to him.

Therefore, in his spare time, Baxter will give gifts to everyone who is preparing to leave the East China Sea and enter the Grand Route. The gifts include various empty island shells and some strange and rare items.

Although everyone knows that Baxter's purpose of doing this is to win people's hearts, after all, it is not to hit the smiling person.Although some people would reject Baxter's gift, no one would ever say anything bad to him.

With this small gift, Baxter has established relationships with many famous hunters in the Grand Line. His network of contacts is unparalleled in the East China Sea. If there is anything that cannot be resolved, he should be the one to contact. .

"No, no, I will be satisfied when you can remember me as a little person after you become famous, so what more gifts do you need? I wish you success, Ace, Sabo, and Luffy."

After sending the three brothers into the guild, Baite smiled and continued to receive the next person who wanted to enter the Grand Line.

Entering the hunter's guild hall, two very conspicuous statues were placed in the center of the hall.One is a swordsman with a black sword on his back, and the other is a rather burly man.

They are the champions of the first and second World's Best Martial Arts Competition respectively, Hawkeye Mihawk and Tyrant Bear.

Needless to say, there is no need to say more about Hawkeye's story. As he won his first championship, his legend has already spread across the sea and has become a household name.The story of the second Tyrant Bear attracts people's attention even more.

According to the limited information, Tyrant Bear is the king of the South China Sea Ice Cream Kingdom. For some reasons, he was called a tyrant by his subjects for his unusual cruelty and ruthlessness in his youth. He was even ready to give up the throne and go to sea to become a pirate.

During a trip to the sea by the Blue Star Hunting Group, they came to this country by chance and encountered a big bear called the Tyrant.No one knows what happened during that time, but after that meeting, the tyrant changed his previous nature and became a very gentle guy.

After a change in personality, Bartholomew Bear began to use the ability of his meat ball fruit to help the country become wealthy. At the same time, he did not forget to exercise his own strength and fight on the front line against any enemies who invaded the country.

After such training, Bartholomew Bear's strength changed dramatically, and he finally shined in the second season of the World's Best Martial Arts Competition, winning the championship in one fell swoop.

After becoming the champion, Xiong negotiated with the Hunters Guild and exchanged the championship reward for the right of passage of the sea train and a series of business support policies from the Hunters Guild. This made his country rapidly prosperous and powerful in a short period of time, becoming One of the most famous countries on the sea.

Because of this, Bartholomew Bear is known as one of the wisest kings in the world and has become the object of worship by countless people.
