One Piece: Divine Bird Phoenix

A small town on the edge of the Kingdom of Goa.

An, Ace, and Luffy walked on a sparsely populated street.

Most of the shops on the street were closed, and only a few were still open.

"Sister, what's going on?" Luffy pulled An's clothes and said frustratedly.

For the playful Luffy, encountering this situation is the saddest.

We asked someone, and An was also curious about why this happened.

I took the two of them into a restaurant. There was no familiar welcome management, and there were no guests in the restaurant. There was only a fat boss dozing on the table.

The boss saw An and the other two come in, and he hurriedly greeted them with a big belly.

Taking out the menu, the boss asked, "What do you want to eat?"

After flipping over the menu, An took a look and exclaimed, a serving of barbecue costs 4,000 Baileys! A glass of juice costs 1,000 Baileys.

Staring at the boss in disbelief, An said, "Why don't you go rob?"

The boss looked at An with contempt, "Little girl, go home quickly if you don't have money, don't hang around outside."

"You think this food is expensive, but I think it's expensive too. There's nothing I can do."

Holding Ace who wanted to take action, An ordered a few plates of barbecue and 4 glasses of juice, and thought to himself, "The person who can kill me has not been born yet, you fat guy, just wait for me."

Taking the menu, the boss looked at An for a few times, "Do you have money?"

Glancing at the boss, An took out a stack of Baileys from his pocket and threw the money to the boss."

Counting the Baileys, seeing that the money was enough, the boss stopped talking nonsense and went directly to the kitchen with the menu with a smile.

"Talking as you walk, how can you make money faster than robbing."

A few minutes later, a few plates of barbecued meat of poor quality were brought up, and 4 glasses of juice were put down, and the boss was about to leave.

"Wait!" An called the boss, pushed a glass of juice over, motioned the boss to sit down, and said, "Let's talk."

Looking at the empty shop, the boss sat down with the idea of ​​killing time.

"What do you want to talk about?" The boss took a sip of juice and spoke slowly.

"I remember this town was very prosperous before, how could it become like this?" An pointed to the empty street outside.

"Yes! This town was very prosperous before, but since the nobles began to fight for the throne, the country has become more and more chaotic."

After that, the fat boss lit a low-quality cigarette, took a deep breath, blew a smoke ring to An, and then slowly spoke.

"Because of the nobles' fight, the price of food in the whole country began to rise. Ordinary people could not afford to eat and were forced to join the nobles' army. This is why there are fewer people on the street."

After waving the smoke ring, An continued to ask: "Fighting for the throne, where did the king of the Goa Kingdom go before?"

Hmm? The boss looked at An with a surprised look, you don't know?

How could I know, An looked at Ace and Luffy beside him.

Noticing that their sister was looking at them, Ace and Luffy shook their heads to indicate that they didn't know.

Seeing this, the boss knew that the three of them were not lying, so he told them what happened.

"He was beaten to death by the Celestial Dragons", Ace exclaimed after hearing the reason for the king's death, "That's the king of a country!"

"Sister, what are Celestial Dragons?" Luffy asked in confusion.

"Celestial Dragons! They are a group of "pigs" like things."

"So the Celestial Dragons are pigs", Luffy nodded and labeled the Celestial Dragons in his heart.

"Hey! Do you know what you are talking about?" The fat boss looked at An in horror.

"The Celestial Dragons are originally pigs", what's the problem.

"Besides, you should worry about yourself more than the Celestial Dragons!"

After getting the information he wanted to know, An was ready to teach this boss a lesson.

"What do you mean!" The fat boss didn't understand.

Under the doubtful eyes of the fat boss, An pulled out a long knife from the void and put it on the fat boss's neck, and then a cold voice came, "Give me back my money."

...

A few minutes later, An left a message for the boss.

"It seems that robbing is more profitable!"

In the face of the fat boss's expression of despair, the three took most of the boss's savings and left the restaurant.

On the street, the three had no interest in continuing to play, and went directly back to the villa on Mount Korpo.

At night, dinner was still made by Chef Ace...

After dinner, Ace returned to his room, and Luffy pestered to sleep with his sister.

No words all night.

The next morning, after eating breakfast made by Chef Ace, An left the villa under Ace's resentful eyes.

In the sea near Mount Korpo, An prayed to the sea for the devil fruit. After making a wish, An went to the Black Tiger Bandits.

As for why he didn't use this ability at the Navy Headquarters, it was mainly because it was too easy to be discovered.

The Black Tiger Bandits' base.

The Black Tiger Bandits at this time were no longer the small bandits that lived in a corner before.

On the training ground, Heath was training the bandits with the same method as training soldiers.

Flames streaked across the sky, and An appeared in front of Heath.

Seeing that the person coming was An, Heath excitedly stepped forward and shouted, "Boss, you are finally back."

Nodding, An walked towards the central house and waved to Heath to follow.

Seeing An's actions, Heath asked the bandits to train on their own and turned to follow An.

In the room, An sat on the first seat and asked Heath: "Heath, how is the Black Tiger Bandits developing now?"

Heath seemed very excited when he heard An's question, and said: "Boss, in the six months since you left, we have unified the entire Korpo Mountain with the devil fruit you left behind."

"According to your request, I killed all those evil bandits, and the remaining bandits were all taken into the Black Tiger Bandits."

"So far, the Black Tiger Bandits have more than 1,000 people, including more than 300 combatants."

Hearing Heath's report, An praised: "You did a good job, Heath."

Originally, An thought that Heath could only develop the Black Tiger Bandits to more than 700 people, but who knew that Heath actually exceeded expectations.

In this way, An is more confident about the next plan.

Hearing the boss's praise, Heath felt that his efforts during this period were not in vain.

Retracting his thoughts, An said, "Heath, how much do you know about the Goa Kingdom?"

"Boss, are you referring to the Goa Kingdom nobles' fight for the throne?"

Yes, that's it. What do you think? Is Heath interested in being the king?

"Boss, are you kidding me?" Heath opened his mouth wide, feeling a little dizzy.

"You know what I think. Becoming the king is just the first step. What do you think? Do you have the courage?"

After the words fell, An looked at Heath with interest. Noticing the boss's gaze, Heath expressed his willingness without hesitation.

Then Heath asked, "Boss, what do you need me to do?"

Retracting his gaze, An nodded and said, "This matter is very simple. You just need to go to a noble and let them die in the internal struggle. Remember to be clean and don't let the World Government catch you."

"As long as there are no nobles in the Goa Kingdom, you can sit on the throne with your strength."

"As for how to do it specifically, it depends on you."

After making the suggestion, An walked towards the training ground.

Seeing the boss leave, Heath walked out, thinking about the boss's advice.
