Living in a high-risk world

This is the third day after the incident.

On a small undeveloped island in the sea area of ​​​​New World, there are two pirate ships moored on the shore, and Zaoyue and others are staying on this island for rectification.

At this time, Zaoyue was sitting on the hammock, flipping through a newspaper in his hand. On the beach not far away, the people injured in the previous encounter with Kaido had all received good treatment.Although his body was still wrapped in bandages, he raised his wine glass energetically at this moment, and celebrated this catastrophe with the others.

"These people are too messy, and they started drinking before they recovered." Scheeren looked at the pirates who were already drinking to their heart's content, and said a little speechlessly.

Zaoyue laughed haha, raised her eyebrows and said: "After all, I managed to walk past Kaido alive once."

With that said, she put the newspaper aside, and walked over to participate in this carnival banquet.

The day after the banquet.

After last night's hangovers gradually woke up, and they had been resting on this island for two days, Zaoyue felt that it was about time for them to show up and go out for some activities.Otherwise, in a few days, the wind direction of the outside world may have to change, guessing whether she is seriously injured or not, all kinds of rumors are spreading.

Zaoyue remembered that Ace and the others had enthusiastically proposed to visit the ninja settlement.

It has been almost half a year since I came out this time, and now that I am in my early years, I will take a trip back to Shudao by the way, which can be regarded as a homecoming.

After she proposed where she planned to go next, the proposal was quickly and unanimously responded.

So packing up, they set sail again and set off back to sea.

At the same time, two days is enough time for this news to spread to every corner of the world.

People who saw the news had mixed reactions.

There are those who just smile knowingly, those who are upset about being taken away, and those who are distressed and vigilant... But for the vast majority of ordinary people in this world, the birth of a new emperor of the sea is nothing more than concern or, to be precise, worry, With the appearance of another big pirate, will this world become more chaotic.

……

Although the next step is to go to Shudao, the people along the way are still not much different from before.

It still stops and goes like a self-guided tour, and stops to explore, take risks, and go sightseeing when encountering interesting islands.

If there is any difference from before, it is probably because of the news reports, because of the status of the Four Emperors, the popularity of Zaoyue and the others has increased significantly for a while, but after all, it is freshly released, so it is inevitable that there are others in this sea area. Small and well-established pirate groups, or newcomers who have just entered the new world, come to find fault with the idea of ​​picking a weak persimmon or being unconvinced.

Therefore, along the way, from time to time, they will encounter pirates who come to find trouble or challenge.

For these people, if they challenged them with a serious attitude and aboveboard, Zaoyue would naturally return the same courtesy, and continue to return a good attitude after defeating the opponent, giving them a way out.

In addition to the challengers, there are naturally also those who have a reputation for the Four Emperors. Out of admiration, admiration and other reasons, they come to join or hope to join the pirate group under their banner.

Although Zaoyue has no will to dominate and rule the entire sea, if she meets someone who is congenial or like-minded, she will not resist drinking a bowl of friendship wine with the other party.

In this way, after another month and a half of sailing on the sea, although there are still two boats when they go together daily, in fact, the number of pirates joining the flag has reached double digits during this period.If all the members of the pirate group are counted, Zaoyue and the others can be regarded as sitting on an army of ten thousand people at this time.

……

On Tree Island a few days later.

"It's the boat of Master Zaogetsu, they're back!!"

The ninjas on the watchtower saw the big ship slowly approaching, and the familiar pirate logo on the sail cheered them up.

Not long after, two pirate ships docked.

Ace ran down directly, almost ignoring the ninjas on the shore, but soon Zaoyue also got off the boat.

"So there's a Bubble Island here!" Ace looked around excitedly.

"That's right, it was made with ability." Saizuki said briefly.

Just as he was talking, Sanwei swam up from the bottom of the lake.

In view of the increasing number of naval patrol warships in the surrounding waters a few months ago, and the fact that Aokiji found this island on a bicycle two months ago.Although the other party stated that he had resigned and not become a navy, it was the first time that Shudao welcomed outsiders who entered without guidance.One will naturally have a second discovery of how to enter. After all, the people here are most lacking in curiosity and adventurous spirit. Anyway, it is inevitable that the existence of this island will be known to the outside world.

Even if only a small number of people have the courage to venture in, they cannot withstand the large population base of this planet. The so-called small part here is at least tens of thousands of people.

So out of the consideration of ensuring the safety of the tree island, Sanwei is now idle, and seeing that Sanwei had a good time here, he simply kept Sanwei on the tree island as part of the security of the tree island.

As for the personnel who are in charge of stationing on this island for a long time, they have undergone all kinds of tempering brought about by the magical environment on a different planet in the past two or three years. Apart from other things, at least their heart endurance has improved a lot.Now they have been trembling since the first big wave, and now even if the sea kings with a length of more than [-] meters swim by less than ten meters away from the boat, they can still continue to eat noodles without changing their expressions.

Not to mention the tailed beasts that were feared by people in the past, but now they are stocked in the lake in the center of the island, and no one will be as frightened as before.

However, in a certain way, to be exact, those who have been sent here on a business trip for more than half a year, if they still fail to adapt to the changing climate, strange-looking creatures, and unpredictable external environment, have already been transferred back to their posts. In the ninja world, the remaining people are basically the powerful hearts that have been trained before the collapse of Mount Tai.

When Ace saw the three tails that surfaced, his eyes lit up instantly, and his first reaction was to point to it: "Is that just a pet? Can you ride it out for a circle?"

Zaoyue responded readily, "Yes! I'll show you around other nearby places by the way."

Soon after, one of the two carried the insect net and insect cage on their backs, and the other brought the fishing net, and jumped onto Sanwei's back.

"..." Sure enough, they are the aborigines of this planet, and their hearts are big enough.

When Ace faced the tailed beast, his first reaction was to use it as a mount. The ninjas, who took a long time to adapt to the various frights brought by the environment here, couldn't help but think.

Looking back at the other pirates brought in, they all looked calm, and some even enthusiastically asked the staff on the island about Sanwei's habits and length.

As soon as Zaoyue came back, she took her little friends to explore, and ran away in a blink of an eye, and the rest of the handover work with the person in charge of the island was naturally spread to her crew.

After disembarking quite consciously, Dou took the initiative to ask Zhishui, who had come to dock, about the recent situation.

"When we came back, there seemed to be no traces of naval warships in the surrounding waters. Apart from the visit of the former general Aokiji, there should be no other accidents, right?"

Although he does not agree with some of the philosophies and styles of the pirate group, Zhishui also has to admit that, compared with normal external development, he directly uses the deterrent power brought by the status of the emperor of the sea to protect the pirates. The security of its own territory is more obvious.

Almost a few days after the report was published, the naval warships that used to patrol the waters around the island seemed to have received some kind of order and stopped wandering in and out of the great waterway in the surrounding waters.

Although it is noticed that there are still World Government ships observing in the distance, it is no longer like before, seeming to be threatening and deliberately appearing nearby.

It reminded him of the conversation he had had when Kuzan came to this island and stayed for half a day more than a month ago, based on the desire to understand the views of pirates in the eyes of the former admiral.

"A pirate is a person who follows his inner thoughts, destroys everything in front of him in order to carry out his beliefs, and goes forward bravely without leaving any regrets in his life. I don't dislike all pirates, but as long as pirates continue to pursue their dreams, there will be people who They cry when they lose their warm happiness and loved ones. While pirates are chasing freedom, they are bound to destroy the peaceful life of others. Do dreams come first or loved ones first? They may not be stingy to shed tears for their dreams, even if the past It is a matter of course to give up the bond and bond, but what about other people? How should the answers to these questions be answered? Everyone is different."

When he came back to his senses, after replying to the relevant matters, when he learned that in such a short month, the banner's power had grown to more than ten thousand people, not only him, but everyone on the island who heard about it was suddenly in an uproar, as if It's like dreaming.

After all, more than half a year ago, when they watched the live broadcast of the execution, they learned that the navy had a strength of [-] troops. The gap in reserves is undoubtedly stressful.

As a result, in the blink of an eye, Zaoyue expanded the number of members of the pirate group to more than [-] people. It was only a little over a month after becoming the Four Emperors. If it took longer, as the power continued to expand, the number of members would still will continue to increase.

I have to say that in the process of foreign exchanges and dealing with different civilizations, the thing that can really bring people a sense of peace of mind is strength.

……

Zaoyue originally planned to take Ace and the others to the ninja world the next day.

It's just that on the second day, a news about the crisis in the East China Sea was published in the newspaper brought by Newsbird, which made Ace worry about the safety of his hometown.

And not long after, they decided to go back to Dongfanglan to confirm the situation.

After hearing this, Zaoyue also expressed her understanding: "After all, it is your hometown. If something happens, you must go and see it. Anyway, you probably know the location of this island. Come and find me after you've dealt with it."

So Ace went back to Donghai first.

Then, since they were all back, Zaoyue simply went back to Ninja World to stay for a few days.
