Pirates: Hades!

Time came to the year 1496 of the Haiyuan calendar peacefully.

There were no major disputes in the New World, and even the Whitebeard Pirates did not rise as expected.

The development of power has a rhythm. Once the rhythm is interrupted, the negative impact is huge.

If the development is smooth, the overall trend will be upward, like a snowball, and the development will be faster and faster, maintaining a certain speed.

The most obvious is the Feikong Pirates. During the war, the development of the Feikong Pirates has never stopped.

And the Whitebeard Pirates, after a disastrous defeat, have been somewhat devastated.

Of course, the strength is recovering, but there is less fresh blood added.

Joining the Whitebeard Pirates, fewer affiliated forces are willing to attach themselves to Whitebeard.

The main reason for many forces to join the Whitebeard Pirates is the strong prestige of "Whitebeard" Edward Newgate, which has been passed down from the Rocks era.

There is also the strong strength of Newgate.

Under the command of Whitebeard, they can be developed and the safety factor can be guaranteed.

However, the defeat in the war made people see the weakness of the Whitebeard Pirates, so they would not join Whitebeard's army regardless of the consequences.

The fact that forces flocked to the Whitebeard Pirates' territory would not happen before the Whitebeard Pirates regrouped and had a strong record.

Today's Whitebeard not only lost the title of "Legendary Pirate", but also did not get the title of "World's Strongest".

This can only be recognized by people through continuous fighting. In order to protect their own pirates, the Whitebeard Pirates huddled in their own territory, and Newgate's number of shots naturally decreased.

Naturally, it was impossible to prove Newgate's shocking and terrifying destructive power.

The impact of the interruption of the development rhythm is fatal.

If you can't correct your name, the impression of weakness will be known to people, and you will naturally become the target of provocation by many pirates.

Especially those young pirates who want to step on the corpse of the old man.

Like John, Silver Axe, and the Five Peaks Pirates who were defeated by the Flying Pirates.

They immediately regained face from other pirates, proving that it was not that they were weak, but that the Sky Pirates were too powerful.

Such behavior made up for the impact of the defeat to a certain extent, and the power lost in the war was also recovering rapidly.

After all, it was a top pirate group in the second echelon of the ocean.

The Sky Pirates kept looking for news about ancient weapons. Only by getting ancient weapons could they have absolute confidence to confront the World Government.

But there was no news.

Without clues, it would be a waste of time to search.

During this period, the strength of the Sky Pirates was further improved.

In an unknown sea area, the Oro Jackson was sailing on the sea.

The crew of the Roger Pirates gathered in the captain's room.

Roger, Rayleigh, Jabba, Kozuki Oden, the main combat force and core members looked at the historical text rubbings spread on the ground.

He kept thinking with his chin in his hand, frowning.

Especially the rubbings of the three signpost stones, it seems like a puzzle piece is missing.

"Where will the last signpost stone be?"

"We have even been to Elbaf."

It is too difficult to find a stone in the vast ocean.

The first signpost stone was obtained by the Rocks Pirates during their dominance of the sea, and later fell into the hands of the Big Mom Pirates.

The last two signpost stones came from Wano Country and Usa Island respectively.

To be precise, these three signpost stones were all very easy to get.

One was obtained through a transaction, and the other two were led by Kozuki Oden.

But they have no clue about the last signpost stone.

Through the interpretation of the historical text, they also learned some things about the blank hundred years, especially about the mysterious giant kingdom.

They looked for many places recorded in it, especially the giant country Elbaf, but they did not find any trace of the signpost stone.

There is no clue in front, and the world government is chasing behind.

This made them a little disappointed, but they did not give up.

"No, there must be something wrong with some link. The last signpost stone must be in a corner of the Great Route. We may have accidentally missed it and didn't find it."

Roger stood up and looked out the window at the distant sea.

"Among the three ancient weapons, only the Sea King is left that we don't know about, right?"

Rayleigh reminded meaningfully.

"That's Fishman Island. Do we have to go there again?"

Kozuki Oden was a little impatient. After all, they were only one step away.

After completing the last step, they could conquer the Great Route.

In the process, they also learned more truths andAnd attracted them to learn more.

"No, Fishman Island may be a key link, but I feel like I should have missed something along the way."

Roger walked to the window, took a deep breath, then turned around, clapped his hands with an excited smile on his face.

"Guys, let's start from the beginning, walk the Great Route again, accompany me on the last journey, go around the world, and completely conquer the sea."

He really doesn't have much life left, there are still about two years.

Everyone in Roger's Pirates is willing to accompany him on the last journey.

The rudder turned, all the crew members performed their duties, and Oro Jackson turned and continued to move north.

To go around the world, they first have to return to the starting point of the Great Route, which is the Upside-Down Mountain connecting the four seas, that is, the Twin Straits.

The route they chose is to go to the North Sea through the Calm Belt in the north of the New World, and then return to the Upside-Down Mountain.

On the other hand, the World Government has long established a special operations team against Roger's Pirates.

They followed the every move of Roger's pirates, and recorded all the places they visited and paid close attention to them.

Of course, this was not accurate. Most of the time, the whereabouts of Roger's pirates were unknown.

The general trajectory of action could only be determined through some places where they appeared.

And the giant country Elbaf was obviously a key node.

As Elbaf moved from division to unification, under the rule of the giant country.

Although the relationship was not close, the World Government still paid great attention to Elbaf.

The news that Roger's pirates appeared in Elbaf and contacted the royal family of the Elbaf giant country was known to the World Government.

"Is there a signpost stone in Elbaf?"

Marcus Maz Saint asked in a deep voice.

There was silence all around, and the other four Five Elders were thinking about this possibility.

No one refuted, which meant that the probability of this statement was very high.

After all, the Elbaf Giant Kingdom has been passed down for thousands of years. Even if Elbaf falls into a split situation, the Giant Kingdom is still the strongest force in Elbaf.

As Celestial Dragons, they know that more than 800 years ago, Nika himself was a person with the blood of the Giants and a mixed race with the Giants.

During the Giant Kingdom period, Elbaf was also a strong supporter of the Giant Kingdom.

After the coalition formed by the 20 kingdoms destroyed the Giant Kingdom and established the World Government, a fierce war broke out with the Elbaf Giants.

Not only Elbaf, but also the supporters of the Giant Kingdom, especially the various races.

The World Government and the Elbaf Giants have hatred.

In order to ease the relationship and let time wear away everything, the World Government has never contacted Elbaf for more than 300 years.

It was not until the Elbaf generation died and the next generation almost forgot the hatred with the World Government that the World Government began to contact Elbaf.

Interfering in the internal affairs of the Giants and even promoting the division of Elbaf.

"Let's not worry about the giants for now."

"We can't let the Roger Pirates continue. Garp can't catch Roger. We must take other measures to curb the actions of the Roger Pirates."

"It's better to do it once and for all."

Satan crossed his hands in front of his chest.

Watching the Roger Pirates continue to act, they are increasingly feeling a sense of crisis.

They don't know when the Roger Pirates will make everything public, and even know the whereabouts of the ancient weapons.

Although there is no evidence, they guess that the Roger Pirates should have clues about the ancient weapons.

Because the Roger Pirates have the ability to interpret the text of history.

No matter which ancient weapon, it has a terrible power that threatens the rule of the World Government.

The World Government has records of ancient weapons, and naturally it is within the scope of the Five Elders' knowledge.

"So what should we do?"

"Notify the Navy and the people below that they must come up with a charter within three days."

"Reconsider!"

"Reconsider!"
