The Worst Fruit Among Pirates

"What, Roger is going to be executed?!"

In the windless zone that isolates the world from the great sea route, a huge ice floe floats on the sea, and four figures are sitting on it eating and drinking to replenish their strength.

For Oni, the navigator of the White Dragon Pirates, the green-haired girl, it only took a few months of "prison food" to realize that the world had changed dramatically.

"Yes, that's why we rushed to the East China Sea."

Rosie lowered her hood, revealing her blond hair, and took a bite of the dry food in her hand, which was stored in the fairy tale 'pocket' made by Jorah.

The dwarf’s mysterious treasure bag—from the folk fairy tale “The Magic Pocket”

There is also a large amount of drinking water stored in it, but with Tani with the 'Dragon Fruit, Phantasmal Beast Species, and White Dragon Form', it is very easy for her to solidify ice from the air.

"One Piece..."

Tiestino sighed after taking a bite of bread.

"I don't know what kind of changes his death will bring to this sea: Will it become calmer? Or will it become more chaotic?"

"How could this happen? Are pirates really out of money?"

After hearing the 'bad news' from Rossi that the Pirate King was about to be executed, Oni knelt down in frustration.After a second of silence for the gloomy future, he stood up full of energy and patted his knees.

"Then why are we pirates? Let's go ashore and become bandits."

···

"unnecessary,"

Rossi rubbed his temples, where is your 'pirate' moral integrity?

However, it's time to introduce them to the 'Don Quixote Family'.

"The Don Quixote family that I belong to is now one of the 'Shichibukai' recognized by the World Government. It controls the three territories of the New World Park: 'Fighting Beast Island', 'Food Island' and 'Carnival Island'."

"The Rafal Kingdom in the North Sea is basically controlled by the family; at the same time, in other countries in the North Sea, the Don Quixote family also owns a large number of industries."

? !

"Wow,"

The green-haired girl with shining eyes rushed over,

"This noble lord, I don't want to work hard anymore——"

Bang!

Oni, who had been punched on the head by her 'sister', squatted aside and drew circles, while Tani, who tied her long hair into a long ponytail, came over and sat opposite Rosie.

"Rosinandee,"

"What do you know about Roger, the Pirate King?"

As a vicious pirate imprisoned on the sixth floor, Tani knew about Roger's capture.At the same time, we also know that Golden Lion broke into the Navy headquarters in order to save Roger, and was sent to the sixth floor to eat in prison.

But she couldn't figure out why Roger, who had become the "Pirate King", didn't raise his arms and gather the world, but was quietly arrested by the navy and prepared for execution.

If One Piece is only this level, why are there still pirates in the sea?

"You'll know this problem once you go to the East China Sea."

Regarding Tani's doubts, Rosie did not answer directly: Only a few people in this world knew that Roger was terminally ill.

Besides Roger himself, the only one who knows that Roger is preparing to start the 'Great Pirate Age' is probably Rosie!

Or maybe there will be a deputy captain of the Roger Pirates, Rayleigh... who knows.

"Where we are now is the South China Sea,"

Because Impel City is located in the windless zone that separates the South China Sea, Rossi and others are now crossing the windless zone, preparing to enter the South China Sea first, and then rush to the 'Upside Down Mountain' from the South China Sea.

Then climb over the Upside Down Mountain and arrive at Rogge Town at the entrance to the East China Sea.

"If we don't hurry up, we won't be able to catch up with Roger's execution."

"it is good,"

After the rest, Tani, who once again transformed into the form of a dragon, rose into the sky, carrying Rossi and the three of them and flew out of the Windless Zone.

----

at the same time:

"'Pirate' Roger is about to be executed in the East China Sea! 》

"Rogg Town, the beginning and the end!" 》

"Justice Will Triumph!" "

Countless newspaper delivery birds spread newspapers all over the world and great routes,

The whole article is full of heroic statements such as the navy is invincible, sweeping the world, and the age of pirates is coming to an end.

Although the 'journalists' in this world have their own professional ethics, how many of them dare not report in accordance with the will of the world government in the face of the threat from the CP organization?

"Hmph, I bet there must be something going on between Roger and the Navy!"

Under the huge hot air balloon flying in the sky, in the half-built, simple headquarters of the 'World Economic News Agency'.

Morgans, who was still in his birdman form, put down the newspaper in his hands unhappily. He once tried to 'interview' Roger, but was decisively rejected by the World Government.

"I still don't know Roger's strength?"

"If you say he can't beat Garp, I believe it; if you say he will be captured by Garp, I don't believe it!"

Among the top masters, unless there is an extra fight, it is difficult to determine the winner, let alone an arrest that cannot even escape.A reporter's intuition gave Morgans a whiff of conspiracy and deal-making, but—

"President, others are reporting this news, what should we do?"

····

"Report it,"

Morgans waved his wings tiredly,

Although this kind of 'controlled' news makes him uncomfortable, if he loses his sales share because of it: If the World Economic News cannot survive, how can we talk about press freedom?

"Turn towards the East China Sea,"

"I want to witness Roger's curtain call with my own eyes. I don't believe that a man like him could die in such obscurity!"

Not only the 'big news' Morgans, many people who got the news also rushed to the East China Sea.

They want to witness the end of 'One Piece' with their own eyes,

Witness the history!

South China Sea,

Unlike the North Sea, where technology is advanced, the West Sea, where ancient countries and emerging families coexist, and the East China Sea, which is said to be the weakest, the South China Sea is the kind of sea that is neither up nor down, with a little bit of everything and nothing unique.

Even among the pirates here, there aren't any famous ones.

If I have to say it, the young prince Bartholomew Big Bear of the Solbe Kingdom, which has recently become famous, is one of them.

Although he is a prince, Da Xiong is actually a gentle person who has been chopping firewood and studying since he was a child.It's just that the heavy heavenly gold has overwhelmed the Sorbey Kingdom, and even the royal family has become the target of ordinary people's criticism.

On the sea near the calm zone,

A three-masted square sailing ship in the South China Sea between medium and large sizes was slowly moving forward. The thick hull was painted dark blue, and the tall mast was hung with sails carefully sewn with canopy cloth warp and weft yarn.

The seas in the South China Sea are not very windy. In order to allow the ships to carry more cargo, the hulls will basically appear relatively 'flat'.

"Captain, there is a situation."

"There is an iceberg at three o'clock!"

At the top of the mast, as the lookout shouted, the pirates on the deck wearing shabby clothes and ocher, gray, and black turbans were stunned, and they all turned their heads to look in the direction of the lookout's finger.

What are you doing——

This is a sea area close to the windless zone, and the temperature is as warm as spring all year round. How could there be an 'iceberg'?

"Could it be coming from the 'Grand Line'..."

The burly first mate stroked his beard and said,

It is a well-known fact that behind the Calm Belt lies the Grand Line.

It's just that no one is trying to 'take a shortcut' across the windless zone.The first is that there is no wind. Most ships in this era are powered by sails. The second is naturally because there are a large number of super giant sea kings in the windless zone, which will attack passing ships.

Crossing the windless zone is absolutely a fool's errand.

"Captain, do you want to go over and take a look?"

"Um···"

The captain, holding a monocular, silently observed the 'iceberg' in the distance. Opportunities and crises coexisted on the sea. Maybe there was something fishy about this iceberg.

"Wait, Iceberg Man!"

Just when the lookout shouted, the pirate captain who raised the monocular shrank his pupils!

Because he had already seen the 'people' on the iceberg, two women in navy uniforms, a thin man in a white coat, and a mysterious man in a white robe with a hood covering his face.

Navy guy?

Could it be that it drifted away from the Grand Route...

At this moment, the 'mysterious hooded man' in sight suddenly turned his head and smiled at the pirate captain who was observing him with a telescope.

? !

bang,

Subconsciously taking a big step back, with cold sweat uncontrollably sliding down his cheeks, the pirate waved an order instinctively.

"Turn around and leave here—"

The next second, there was a burst of noise on the deck of the pirate ship, which made the pirate captain who put down his telescope feel cold all over.

Finished!

As the water was cut open, a figure was speeding towards their boat at high speed.

That's right, it's 'Flying Speed'!

The sea is like solid earth under the visitor's feet.

As the figure of the incoming person quickly enlarged, even other people on the deck could clearly see him: a white robe, a hood covering his face, an empty scabbard at his waist, and a flintlock gun hanging on his chest...

The most special thing is that unlike the "dirty" pirates who have been sailing all year round, the other party's clothes are neat and clean as new. In addition to his ability to fly across the sea, he only needs to write "I am a master" on the face.

"quick--!!"

The pirate captain roared angrily, but the word 'quick' was lost.

Quick turn?Fight back quickly?Or quickly...surrender?

brush,

In just ten seconds, the other party rushed to the side of the pirate ship, jumped up and landed on the side of the ship.

"Excuse me, give us a ride."

The hood covers the upper half of the face, revealing a smooth chin and a mouth that opens and closes mechanically.

"Why?"

When the pirate captain was in a daze, an angry shout suddenly sounded from beside him. With his distorted expression, the loyal first mate stepped forward.

"Our captain is a big pirate with a bounty of 1300 million:"

"Captain Ivar the 'Flash Sword'!"

Do you want me to die? !

In an instant, the pirate captain's heart stopped beating.

It's true that he has some strength, but compared with the mysterious man in front of him who can 'fly across the sea', he knows without even thinking that he is no match -

"Flash sword?"

The mysterious man tilted his head, raised his right hand and pointed at the pirate captain's waist.

"I think it's the 'Broken Sword'."

click,

?

Amidst the explosion, the sword and scabbard around the pirate captain's waist suddenly turned into pieces and fell to the ground with a crash.

???

At this time, even the first mate, who was not very bright, felt cold all over.

This is not a description, but the leather armor on his body was quietly torn into countless pieces and was falling towards the deck.

As soon as the sea breeze blew, the captain and first mate of the 'Flash Pirates' stiffened on the spot.

"So, it's no problem giving us a ride, right?"

Facing the question raised by the mysterious man again, the pirate captain, who had nothing in his waist, trembled.

"Of course...of course, of course!"

"I wonder where this gentleman needs to go?"

Seeing that the pirate captain was so sensible, Rossi under the hood put away his casual killing intent.

"Upside Down Mountain."

----

Following the extensive reports from various newspapers, a large number of ships from the four sea areas gathered towards Upside Down Mountain.

At the same time, there are also a large number of ships in the new world traveling backwards, heading towards the Twin Gorges.

Although ships cannot fly across the Red Continent, it is not difficult for experts to cross the Upside Down Mountain: unlike other places on the Red Earth Continent, which go straight up and down, Upside Down Mountain has been artificially dug out a diagonal canal.

As long as you climb this mountain, you can overcome the obstacles in the world.

Even so, not everyone can do it.

The hillside, which slopes upward fifty degrees and is several kilometers long, also tests one's endurance. "Hey Hey!!"

Amidst the sound of neat chants, a long and narrow 'Viking style' pirate ship was heading towards the peak of Upside Down Mountain.

The most peculiar thing is that this boat does not travel in the canal, but 'climbs' along the steep hillside.

Under the huge pirate ship, a group of muscular men wearing horn helmets, animal skin robes, and bare feet carried the pirate ship on their shoulders, using this method to make their ship 'leap' upside down. Mountain.

“It’s really exciting to cross the Upside Down Mountain like this.”

On the deck of the 'Flash Pirates', Rossi looked up at the pirate ship that was climbing steadily to the top of the mountain amid the sound of trumpets. Muscles, sweat, unity, heroism... Although those people were not masters, Still able to create miracles!

"How about it, Captain Ivar, do you want to go over there and witness the end of 'One Piece'?"

"No, no, no,"

Captain Ivar, the 'Flash Sword' who was famous in the South China Sea, shook his head repeatedly.

This monster from the new world that drifted out of the windless zone just stretched out his hand and Ivar's proud sword was shattered into pieces. It was so terrifying that one could not resist at all.

Traveling with such a monster has made the entire Flash Pirates extremely nervous.

Now they just want to hide away, and even many pirates have come up with the idea of ​​'washing their hands and quitting'.

Snapped,

A thick pile of baileys was thrown on the deck, and the mysterious man in white robes with a hood covering his face tilted his head towards his three 'companions'.

"Let's go, let's climb Upside Down Mountain too."
