Pirate: Reincarnated as a Black Charcoal Orochi

"Wow hahaha, this is really not easy!

Sure enough, no matter how good I am at swimming.But it was my first time to swim such a long distance, so I was still a little reluctant. "

From the East China Sea to the South China Sea, even the legendary "naval hero" would inevitably feel tired from such actions that exceeded common sense.

Even Garp, who was once regarded as an "Iron Man" by his companions, still wanted to find a stable place to rest.

Before, at the only tavern on the island, it was rare that there was no other sober person present.

Although Garp is neither able nor willing to think as carefully as his friends at the same time, Ahe or Sengoku.

But at any rate, he still knew how shameful what he was about to do was, so with his acquiescence, Garp borrowed the tavern's chef to change himself into a casual outfit that was in line with the South Island style and purchased it on an island he was passing by. dress up.

By the way, he also looted all the little food left there. Carrying a package that was already full of wrinkles and stains, and holding a piece of overly salted kielbasa in his mouth, he followed the guidance of the life card in hand and headed straight. Head towards the westernmost tip of the island.

Although there were many neighbors along the way who wanted to come and see what was going on after hearing the noise in the tavern.

But the many "voices" made by these ordinary people are of course most obvious in front of Garp's domineering power.

The old navy soldier didn't even have to use his advanced skills to be able to move at high speeds almost invisible in the blind spot of the opponent's vision in the midst of a rapidly changing battle, and to launch a righteous sneak attack at any time without the target noticing.

As long as he was slightly out of the way of the densely packed crowd, the old marine, who stood out like a chicken, could enter any home without the residents of the entire island noticing.

Since he was about to reach the last stop of this journey, Garp did not deliberately speed up because he was approaching the goal.

On the contrary, I feel a little nostalgic about this journey I started just because of a single thought:

In order to avoid the pursuit of the navy and government spies, Garp has been swimming around islands and reefs close to the edge of human civilization.

Sometimes there is really no place to stay on the vast sea, and this incredible man will still look like a dolphin:

By letting his left and right brains exchange rest, he was able to maintain proper rest while exercising, and then achieved an inhuman act of "sleeping while swimming" that would shock ordinary people.

But even if he was on such an unobtrusive journey, it didn't mean that Garp couldn't occasionally land on a remote island for supplies.

After all, according to the impression that people in this world have on others, Garp only needs to stick a little carrageen picked up from the sea to his chin to turn his black beard into a yellow braided beard similar to the Warring States period.

Just this level of disguise can make acquaintances wonder for a while whether they have recognized the wrong person before they dare to meet him.

Next, just pay a little attention to your words and deeds, and don't reveal any flaws in details that should not be slacked off.

Then naturally no one would be so open-minded as to doubt this foreigner who happened to pass by him.

After all, everyone's life is very busy, and who would doubt that a down-and-out fisherman walking on the street with a wet body and a smell of sea water could be the one who arrested "One Piece" "Naval hero.

Karp was also able to go ashore during these days, which are similar to whales emerging from the deep sea to take a breath, to get some of the major events that happened in this sea while he was immersed in the waves and currents.

The focus of gathering intelligence is to pay attention to whether there is any news about the legacy of "One Piece".

In this kind of journey, which is a race against time, there is certainly no time to do other trivial matters.

Even the leisure time that he liked to spend three or four hours carefully reading the entertainment pages of newspapers when he occasionally took the place of Sengoku who was out at work, was cut off by the knowledgeable Garp with great perseverance.

Even if I get the newspaper, I only have enough time to glance at it.

As long as you don't see the words "Portcas" or "Batelilla", then the current situation is considered safe.

Garp almost suffered from persecutory paranoia because he temporarily agreed to Roger.

Every time, he gets the desired result through this intense struggle that only he knows.He had to confirm again and again that no one was paying attention to his whereabouts before he could go back to sea and embark on the journey to pick up Roger's unborn child.

In fact, if it were Garp in the early days, he wouldn't have such troubles as a celebrity.

After all, the title "Naval Hero" is not something that conscience-stricken journalists can use casually.

As the name suggests, this title means that among the navy, even limited to the headquarters navy, and those branch navies who have had training experience in the headquarters, they enjoy a reputation above the level of ordinary headquarters lieutenant generals.

Only among veteran sailors who have served for more than 20 years can they have a reputation that far exceeds that of the current general.

But for ordinary people, the "Battle of the Valley of the Gods" that made Garp famous was a scar on the World Government.

If it weren't for that battle indeed having extraordinary significance, there would be too many people in the navy and even the government who would be hard to replace for a short period of time who witnessed the battle that symbolized the end of the "Rocks Era".

Otherwise, the government would be willing to extinguish the criminal Garp who colluded with the pirates, as well as the history of the island.

Naturally, it is impossible to publicize to ordinary people the huge role played by a certain navy in the battle involving that island when the history of the "Island of God" has been completely eliminated at the official level.

As a person who can refuse promotion to the general of the headquarters, Garp himself is unlikely to care about these false names that are meaningless in life.

Therefore, if he needed to make a long journey without being noticed a year ago, except for the first half of the great route that was personally suppressed by the Navy Headquarters and the branch station in the East China Sea, no one in the world would know him.

It doesn't have to be like now, where you have to use your brain and put in a lot of effort to disguise yourself before you can take to the streets.

But in recent times, all kinds of news about "One Piece" are simply news about people's newly discovered wealth code.

Many newspaper and magazine editors, led by the ultimate example of a journalist: "Big News" Morgans, ignored the facts in their reporting.

Driven by the intensifying pirate crisis, news about the deeds of "One Piece" can be said to be getting easier and easier to sell.

As soon as these rumors were published, countless people rushed to buy them. Lieutenant General Garp, who was uniformly described in government propaganda as "the naval hero who arrested the Pirate King", also followed the incident that shocked the world 20 years ago. Then it became popular again.

Now he has transformed from an unknown naval vice admiral to a naval benchmark who has been defending justice for many years.

With the help of journalists who do anything to gain attention, Karp's recent photos have been spread along with the best-selling newspapers and magazines to basically all corners of the ocean that news birds can set foot on.

Even in places where newsbirds cannot enter, intelligent life still exists.

For example, on the Mermaid Island located in the [-]-meter-deep sea below the Shampoo Islands, most of the murlocs who don't even know a few words on the sea also know the legendary marine soldier who is highly respected today: The appearance of "Hero" Garp.

Although this is not entirely a bad thing, in the context of the rapid increase in the number of pirates, it can be said that there are many newborn calves in this sea who want to step on the name of the late "Pirate King" to become the top pirate. The pinnacle.

And their poor brains, which have not received much social education, are the simplest solutions they can think of.

There is nothing better than to personally kill the "Navy Hero" who once arrested the "Pirate King".

"Navy Hero" is greater than "One Piece", "I" is greater than "Pirate Hero", therefore "I" is greater than "One Piece".

Thanks to him, Garp can now be said to be living in the spotlight. Even if he uses his son's life-long event as a shield, he finally has an excuse to take a year and a half of vacation in the Navy, but in the end he is still You cannot swim freely in the sea.

In order to avoid the government's inevitable spy, a lot of time was wasted on the road for no reason.

'However, although I was delayed for too long on the road, the recent South China Sea has been quite uneven. '

Garp was flipping through the latest issue of "World Economic News" that he had taken from the tavern. He habitually unfolded it and placed it in front of him to cover his face. He couldn't help but feel that this had become a natural habit. He laughed softly at his actions.

But as his eyes continued to wander over the newspaper, his heart, which had just been slightly relaxed, was lifted up again.

'Not only have many countries suddenly fallen into the threat of rebellion recently, leading to large-scale naval deployments.

Now, even the legendary infectious disease that has been basically eliminated from the main islands by humans due to the birth of special drugs a hundred years ago: 'South China Sea Emperor Fever' has reappeared in the world...

It's really quite uneventful here. '

According to a medical research report published by an authoritative government-owned newspaper cited by World Economic News:

After a hundred years of evolution away from human society, the ancient "South China Sea Emperor Fever" has become a new infectious disease with a completely new look. Now this infectious disease is particularly serious for newborns, mothers and pregnant women.

In areas with insufficient medical conditions, being infected is no different than being sentenced to death.

Even in some ignorant towns, if a pregnant woman coughs twice in public and has symptoms such as flushed face and rising body temperature, she may be infected with a disease that can destroy an entire village in just a few days.

There is a high possibility that one's husband, one's own brothers, and those people who have inherited the fear of "South China Sea Emperor Fever" from their ancestors will be pushed into the blazing pit of fire without any regard for past friendships.

There, a high temperature that is difficult for the disease to resist is used to perform a complete disinfection down to the bone.

That bastard Roger is obviously very ill and is about to die, but he still refuses to be left alone.

Looking at this kind of unbearable news, Garp can only hope that these immersive reports are all made by those who want to exaggerate even what "One Piece" ate before he died. Conjured up by some unscrupulous reporters.

After all, even Garp, who had a deep understanding of the truth that "Dragonians are the biggest garbage on the sea" and that was covered up by the government as early as 20 years ago, could not have imagined that the government actually believed in Roger's legacy and legacy. Posthumous children exist in this world.

It is even more impossible to imagine that the government would choose to exterminate all newborns born before and after the estimated due date and suspicious pregnant women for the sake of this "evil bloodline" that has no real physical evidence to prove its existence.

Even when Garp was still cruising quickly on the sea, fighting with the giant sea kings living in the windless zone.

The entire South China Sea has been plunged into great turmoil caused by war and plague. Even many people in the South China Sea cannot understand that even though their lives were just a few months ago, everything was still fine.

Why has everything gone wrong since that "Pirate King" was publicly executed by the navy?

First, the number of ruffians and pirates increased rapidly, then there was an unknown rebellion and a large number of naval forces stationed, and then the legendary infectious disease swept the entire South China Sea again.

In the blink of an eye, the people of the South China Sea were inexplicably plunged into a huge crisis that would completely wipe out an entire generation.

Under the threat of this alarming infectious disease, the government has ordered the closure of all shipping routes that come into contact with the South China Sea.

And although it has not been made public yet, it is in areas outside the South China Sea.

The government has even begun to screen pregnant and postpartum women who have recently arrived from the South China Sea. It is said that these two groups of people, including their newborns, are the most likely to spread the incurable disease "South China Sea Emperor Fever". .

'It's abominable that I have lived in a place that is no different from a cannon for a whole year.

That bastard Roger must have expected this situation and chose to live in the South China Sea for the last time, right? '

The old navy soldier, who was full of troubles and questions about the current situation, even experienced in advance what it was like to be abandoned by the times.

Feeling that he just swam a long distance and was out of touch with the entire era after his return, Garp finally reached the place guided by the life card with his increasingly swift footsteps.

Just on the edge of the cliff at the western end of the island, there is a cute hut surrounded by low round stone walls.

Not to mention the three majestic and bloody words "One Piece", the hut has nothing to do with the two dirty words "Pirates". It has a sloping roof made of beautiful orange tiles. .

All door and window frames and the fence in front of the house are made of fine oak with clear grain.

The putty mixed with clay and lime on the walls has a warm beige color against the sunlight due to the lack of purity of the material.

There are no flowers on the outside of the hut that are favored by aristocratic ladies. There are only a few coconut trees that are as common as weeds on southern islands, and there are faint traces of someone climbing on them. Mark of.

Garp didn't linger on these scenery for too long. Before his mind could react, his body had already taken a detour to the back of this lovely house and gently knocked on the servant's door with its beautiful wrought iron latticework.

'Ah, are you moving a little too fast now? '

But before Garp could react, he tried to take back his hand that knocked on the door, but the door suddenly opened and caught him off guard.

Looking at the long-haired woman standing in front of him, Garp could only laugh awkwardly.

After a brief silence, Garp, who had never experienced such an occasion, finally forced himself to speak:

"Well, although I'm a little embarrassed, that, your mistress... no, no, it's your husband...

Well, your husband is Roger, right? "

After receiving the woman's unexpected nod of agreement, Garp seemed to be even more disturbed by this unconventional approach.

I also forgot the life card I originally wanted to take out as a token. In desperation, I only had the last sentence left in my mind and blurted out:

"Your man is dead!"

"…I know."
