One Piece: The Strongest Man on the Surface

In the basement of Dressrosa Palace, Fujitora and Andrew had a secret conversation here.

As for what we talked about...

They said it was a secret and still asked.

I only know that since then, the navy brought by Fujitora has been stationed directly in Dressrosa, and Akainu rarely refused. It is said that Fujitora promised something to him.

In the end, only Shi returned to the navy headquarters with full of doubts.

And Andrew and his party also stayed in Dressrosa, with no intention of leaving at all.

This also gave the Big Mom Pirates no chance to take action, so they could only delay it again and again. In Cake Island, Big Mom's angry roars could be heard almost every once in a while.

In the Kingdom of Wano, Kaido, who was originally furious because of Jack's disappearance, calmed down strangely after Jhin returned to the country. Even the Onigashima where he was was holding banquets all the time, and the singing and dancing could be heard clearly even outside the Onigashima. discernible. .seven

On the other hand, after a series of incidents, the name Joe Raquel Andrew became popular again, and almost all major newspapers published information about him, some true and some false.

The World Government seemed to be fully aware of this man's threat at this time. After the new bounty order was issued, the bounties of Andrew's group were increased by 25 million each, and he himself directly increased the bounty by [-] million, reaching an amount of A terrifying number of [-] billion.

And he is also the only one who has such a high bounty in less than a year after his appearance, which shows how much the World Government wants to get rid of him.

When the outside world was making a fuss, Andrew at the center of the storm seemed to have disappeared. In the next year, no news about him came out at sea, and no one saw him again.

Some people suspected that the Big Mom Pirates were responsible, but there was no evidence that there was any evidence, and there were no rumors within the Big Mom Pirates.

Some people suspected that it was the two generals Fujitora who took down Andrew, but they were immediately refuted. After all, Andrew's performance in the top battle did not look like something that a general-level figure could win.

In this way, Andrew spent the most relaxing and painful period of time since time travel.

The easy part is, there aren't that many fights to fight.

The painful thing is that after experiencing battles with people with superhuman fruit awakening abilities like Ming Ge and Katakuri, he deeply realized his own shortcomings. He was able to win against these two people entirely by relying on his own intelligence and The enemy does not understand his own abilities.

Over the past year, he has been practicing his two-color haki crazily in Dressrosa, and began to try to develop his copied abilities.

As for the overlord color, Andrew finally understood why he had never been able to awaken it.

Overlord color, in addition to the natural qualifications of a king, requires an indomitable will to be king. This is more like a belief, a belief that one is the only one.

The reason why Andrew did not awaken his Overlord Color is because after Whitebeard's death, in his mind, he always regarded himself as a member of the Whitebeard Pirates and as Whitebeard's subordinate. This belief prevented him from awakening his Overlord Color. the root cause.

But even if he knew it, Andrew still couldn't convince himself, because to him, it was an agreement between him and Whitebeard.

It is also his promise to everyone in the Whitebeard Pirates.

……

Another normal day.

Above the sea outside Dressrosa, Andrew was floating in the air, quietly watching the two sea beasts biting each other on the water in front.

This is a betta fish, and a mutant killer whale.

The battle between the two lasted for a long time, but both sides were rough-skinned and fleshy masters.For a while, no one could do anything to anyone.

With a red light flashing in his eyes, Andrew secretly said: "In ten more rounds, the killer whale will be defeated."

Just after thinking this, the originally stalemate situation suddenly changed.

The betta fish, which had been suppressed underneath him, saw the opportunity and used its long horn to pierce the killer whale's throat, causing blood to spurt out.

Not long after, the killer whale was floating on the sea with its belly white, becoming a trophy for the fighting fish.

Andrew, who had expected this scene, smiled slightly, turned and left.

During this year, he received almost devilish training. Luo, Ace, and Jinpei helped him gain the ability to see and hear things at a deeper level in an almost destructive way.

Predict future!

Yes, it is the same ability as Katakuri, who can predict the short-term future of things by observing them.

Of course, the premise of this ability is that he can activate it with absolute concentration.

As soon as she returned to the palace, Rebecca hurried over, dragging her long skirt. Although she had left the palace now, this place was always open to her.

"Lord Andrew, Lord Andrew."

"What's wrong Rebecca?"

Andrew smiled and stepped forward. He had always had a lot of affection for this tough girl.

Rebecca ran up to him, took a breath, and said eagerly: "Jinbei and Mr. Ace received news this morning that something happened on Fish-Man Island, and they have to go back!"

Something happened on Fish-Man Island?

Andrew was shocked. Could it be that Auntie decided to take action against Fish-Man Island when she saw that she couldn't wait for him?

"I have to go take a look, Rebecca. Please tell King Riku and Luo."

After saying that, Andrew rose directly into the sky, took out the two life cards, determined the direction, and rushed all the way.

At this time, the harmony and tranquility of Fish-Man Island in the past has disappeared. Inside the bubble, there are ruins everywhere. Even most of the palace buildings have collapsed. A fat figure is destroying everywhere with a machete.

"That's it, my child. Fish-Man Island is your father's territory. Everything here is your father's inheritance. How can you give it to others so easily!"

Not far away, a little old lady wearing sunglasses and fur, with colorful rings on her hands, was holding an injured mermaid's tail. Her eyes under the sunglasses were full of greed and viciousness.

"Mom is right."

After hearing this, the obese man seemed to be encouraged and swung the big knife in his hand even harder.

Not far away, Neptune, who fell in the ruins, looked at the scene in front of him, filled with grief and anger. The opponent's strength was too terrifying. In just a few rounds, he was defeated. The three princes were even beaten by the opponent. Fortunately, when the opponent launched the attack, Shirahoshi was sent to hide in the hard-shell tower and sent a message for help.

"Andrew, Jinbe, Ace..."

Excessive blood loss made him dizzy. After holding on for a while, he fell to the ground and fainted.

"Son, it's okay. Go find that mermaid princess. She'll probably be able to sell it for a good price!"

"Obey your mother!"

The fat man agreed and cut off the palace in front of him with a knife. Then he twisted his bloated body and followed the old lady. The two of them walked towards the hard-shell tower in the distance.
