Pirate, the former Deputy Head of the Rocks Pirates

one year later!

The sea that had been calm for several years suddenly became turbulent during this period. Roger, Whitebeard, Shiji, Kaido, Lingling and others have rapidly expanded their power in the past few years, carving up what originally belonged to Rocks in the new world. The pirate group's territory is dominated by the second half of the Grand Line, and Roger has been hailed by newspapers as the man who has the best chance of governing the Grand Line in hundreds of years of history!

Cronus, who was holding the newspaper in his hand, looked at the photos of Newgate and Kaido published on it and couldn't help but think back to the separation after successfully escaping after the battle in the Valley of the Gods six years ago.

"Kronus, form a pirate group with me! The strength of you and me will definitely become a sharp sword that can penetrate anyone in this sea that collapses and bursts!"

At this time, the two of them had escaped from death with the help of Cronus. The three of them landed on a remote island. The island seemed to be abandoned by God. There was no grass growing, the rivers dried up, and the hot sun shone on the entire land. There are constant cracks underneath, like a desert land!

That is, after the three people were safe, Whitebeard Edward Newgate invited Cronus. Whitebeard knew that the man in front of him suited his taste, so he wanted to sail with such a handsome man, but Cronus But he politely declined Whitebeard's kindness.

"Sorry, Newgate, I have my own plans."

"But I still firmly believe that you will fulfill your dream and have a group of family members who are worthy of each other's trust."

When he heard that the other party rejected him, Whitebeard was not disappointed. Instead, he laughed and said, "I expected such an ending, so I send you my heartfelt blessings, my friend." Whitebeard is looking forward to the future of Cronus. He prayed that he very much hoped that his friend could walk on a flat surface on this sea and realize his dream!

The two were talking and laughing. Kaido, who was standing beside him, hesitated for a long time and finally seemed to make up his mind and asked, "Vice Captain, please let me be your crew member!" Kaido's words came from the bottom of his heart. , not only because of the other party's tyrannical strength, but also the other party's personality charm moved him.

Snapped!

Something happened that shocked Kaido. Kronos spread his wings and flew in the air, put his hand on Kaido's head and said, "Kaido, I will not form my own pirate group. I want to I'm wandering alone on this ownerless sea, so I'm sorry."

"But I believe in you. With your talent, you will become the absolute king of this sea sooner or later, and you may even surpass Rocks and me, so Kaido..."

"Everyone has their own adventure. I think your adventure is not mine, so go to this magnificent ocean and do whatever you want!"

It was obvious that the other person was not much older than him, but Kaido was looking at Cronus like he was looking at his "father". Cronus's heartfelt words completely broke the young man's heart. You must know that Kaido is He was just a 21-year-old boy during the period!

The corner of Kaido's mouth twitched a few times, and he said with tears in his eyes, "I understand, Mr. Vice-Captain, I will become an existence that surpasses you. I will definitely fight for a place in this sea. Then we can have a drink and have a good time!"

"Hahaha, I'm waiting for you, Kaido!"

Looking at Kaido in front of him talking to him so sincerely, Kronos couldn't help but sigh, "I really look forward to whether Kaido in the future will break the comics and become a man who surpasses the Yonko!"

Then the three of them parted ways after a brief chat. The three of them made an agreement with each other on this barren island. No matter which of the three encounters difficulties in the future, the other two must do their best to help!

"Kaido and Newgate have become handsome men!"

"It seems that I can no longer stay in this small place. It's time to go to sea to visit old friends."

Cronus, who had lived a comfortable and stable life for six years, felt a little bored at this time. Excluding the two years of teaching dragons, Cronus usually spent the rest of the time except when his living materials were almost at the bottom. He went out to buy some daily necessities. He just occasionally goes out to sea to meet his sister, otherwise his sister will worry about him. Although he is very strong, what sister doesn't always care about his brother.

"Okay, it's time to relax."

In this way, after simply packing his luggage, the 27-year-old Cronus left the small home that had "protected" him for six years and embarked on an "ocean cruise."

On another island located on the Grand Route, a beautiful lady with long white hair also bid farewell to her hometown, and "rushed into the whirlpool of the sea" with a longing for a beautiful dream without hesitation!

At this time, a pirate group ship was forced to step into this dark and dark sea area where the sun never shines all year round. The pirates on the ship were a little frightened and looked at the surroundings. In the weird environment, they couldn't help but think of something unclean in their minds.

At this time, Captain Sheld took the initiative to stand up and encouraged, "Young men, we have passed five passes and killed six generals all the way from the North Sea. We have broken through the red earth continent that has hindered countless pirates who have dreams, and we have escaped countless naval pursuits. Kill, we finally got here, do you want to stop here?"

Captain Sheard, with a bounty of 110 million Baileys, once dominated the North Sea and became a hit, but later gradually disappeared from the public eye. Finally, the navy learned that the other party had been dormant in the North Sea for more than ten years and formed an elite force. Deciding to break through the Red Continent with the goal of conquering the Grand Route, he came to the Grand Route that countless pirates have longed for.

After being encouraged by the captain, some of the crew members soon came out of their fear-ridden state and encouraged each other.

"The captain is right. We have gone through all kinds of hardships to get here. How can we be impressed by the mere environment?"

"I just lost my composure. I'm really sorry for you all. I promise this is the last time."

"Now unless I meet a ghost, no one can defeat my unyielding heart!"

Just when everyone had just broken through the haze of fear that bound them, they suddenly discovered that there seemed to be the shadow of a ship that was nearly three times larger than their pirate ship in the fog in front of them. Soon several pirates retreated behind their companions. , with a trembling head staring ahead.

"Pretend to be a ghost, come out and fight if you can!"

Shield saw that he had just tried so hard to convince the crew to give up their fighting spirit, and then disappeared in an instant. Shield was so angry that he turned around and yelled at the shadow in front of him.

The fog in front seemed to have heard Shield's call, and did not disappoint him. It gradually moved closer to both sides, and the huge pirate ship gradually emerged from the water.

The giant pirate ship in front of him didn't look dilapidated. There were very conspicuous holes in the hull, the mast looked to be in disrepair, and the sails seemed to have been torn by the strong wind. Only a few rags were still fluttering in the wind.

At this moment, a skeleton on the deck of the pirate ship in front of him was wearing a gentleman's dress. His white skeletal hand raised a cup of black tea to his mouth. At this time, he also noticed a few people nearby and turned 360 degrees. He stared at several people with his skull.

This horrific scene made the pirates stunned. They screamed when they looked at each other's empty pupils. Captain Sheld, who had seen strong winds and waves, could not keep calm at this time and shouted quickly.

"Run! There's a ghost!"
