Luffy, how can you become the Pirate King if you don't work hard!

"Hey, who are you?!" The major took a half step back and shouted sharply.

He immediately reported through his Den Den Mushi, "Area A3 needs reinforcements!"

"It seems like we can't communicate properly anymore."

next moment.

An invisible aura erupted from Luffy's center!

The Conqueror's Haki swept through the entire jungle like a tidal wave, and wherever it passed, naval soldiers fell to the ground like wheat being harvested, their eyes rolling back and losing consciousness.

A few of the stronger sergeants managed to hold on for a few seconds before they too fainted.

Luffy glanced at the young soldier who had spoken out in question.

He lay on the ground, his brow furrowed.

What do you think the navy is trying to do?

Luffy turned around and looked at Gion emerging from the forest. "Is your so-called justice just shooting civilians?"

Even a pirate like him wouldn't do something like that.

In broad daylight... those vicious pirates do these things with the lights off!

Gion's fingertips turned white, her hand holding the knife trembled, and Luffy's words pierced her heart like a knife.

She has witnessed far too much since she began jumping through the time wormhole.

Each time, you can probably find a reason to convince yourself.

But what she saw shattered her sense of justice.

Unarmed civilians, well-trained navy... and then the navy casually mentions a military exercise.

Would the Navy Headquarters not know about this?

Looking at that massive naval fleet on the sea, it's comparable to the Buster Call's forces.

"I......"

Gion opened her mouth, but no sound came out.

Is the Navy righteous?

Luffy stopped asking questions and turned to walk into the depths of the jungle.

A voice whispered in Tenzuki Toki's mind: "Lord Gion, please let me out..."

"Do not."

Gion gripped the knife tightly, her knuckles turning white.

"I come."

She took a step and followed Luffy's retreating figure.

If this is truly the Navy's so-called justice, then it is not the justice she seeks!

......

not long ago,

A slave transport ship flying the skull and crossbones flag in a sea area of ​​the New World.

"Hurry up and lock all these goods in the hold. The Celestial Dragons will be here soon!"

Agents dressed in World Government uniforms brandished whips and ordered sailors to drive a group of ragged, shackled men off the deck.

Among these people were men and women, the elderly and children, their eyes were numb, as if they had long lost hope.

In a corner of the crowd, a tall boy with heavy eyeshadow was looking down, quietly scratching something on the wooden planks of the ship's cabin with his fingernails.

Beside him, a girl with pigtails and freckles on her face looked excited.

"Ivankov, has the signal been sent?" the girl asked in a low voice.

"Don't worry, Ginny."

Ivankov grinned. "A lot of people will know about this!"

......

World Economic Herald.

At that time, it was just a local newspaper outpost.

"You guys couldn't possibly have been completely unaware of anything about that place!"

The Morgans bird's beak opened and closed excitedly, its face beaming with excitement.

President Morgans stared at the newly deciphered cipher in his hand. This was the big event he had been pursuing!

“How could a local tabloid that sounds like it from a small place possibly have such intelligence capabilities?” an agent said coldly.

"Do you want to be an enemy of the World Government?" The agent next to him raised his gun.

Morgans, undeterred, spread his wings and laughed excitedly: "Then let's give it a try!"

Freedom of the press is something even the Celestial Dragons cannot suppress!

At worst, it can hide in the underground world and still get the truth to the right people.

Morgans had planned it all along; he was determined to get this intelligence to that place.

A paradise for pirates!

......

Beehive Island.

What was once a place of exile is now a paradise for pirates.

Layer upon layer of dens were carved into the steep rock face, and all kinds of pirate ships were docked in the harbor.

In the central square, the bonfire burned day and night, and the smell of alcohol and blood mingled in the air.

Rocks sat on the highest throne, resting his chin on one hand, watching his reveling subordinates below.

Whitebeard, Golden Lion, Wang Zhi, Captain John, Silver Axe, Big Mom... these names that will shake the seas in the future are all gathered here now.

"Boss, we have urgent intelligence. It was sent directly from the World Economic Herald!"

Lox raised an eyebrow, and the moment the note was unfolded, his pupils contracted sharply.

Soon, intelligence spread throughout Beehive Island.

Shakky, who had been missing for a long time, was captured by the Celestial Dragons and made into a prize!

The news also included information about the Celestial Dragons' human hunting game and the prizes.

Some people are questioning the authenticity of the intelligence, but...

"The cowards stayed on the island and continued drinking."

Rocks grinned, his smile twisted like a demon's, "The rest of you, come with me to the Valley of the Gods!"

After a brief silence, a deafening roar echoed throughout Beehive Island!

.......

Marineford, the Admiral's office.

Steel Bone stared at the mountain of reports piled on the table, veins throbbing on his forehead.

The adjutant carefully placed the latest secret report on top.

That was information about the Roger Pirates suddenly changing course and heading straight for the God Valley area.

"Where is the general?!" Kong roared.

"We've already gone there. There's also the Crane in the Warring States period..."

"not enough!"

Kong slammed his fist on the table. "The Rocks Pirates have moved too! Roger has moved too! Let Garp, who's on vacation, go!"

......

New world.

A sea area.

The Rocks Pirates are sailing at full speed.

Suddenly, a huge black shadow rose from the sea ahead.

It was a colossal warship, comparable in size to an island, with a giant totem carved on its prow.

Harald stood at the bow of the ship, clad in a king's robe and wielding a greatsword.

Behind him, dozens of giant warriors stood solemnly.

The two ships slowly approached each other, eventually facing off at a distance of 100 meters.

“Harald, it’s been many years.” Lockes walked to the bow of the ship with a complicated expression.

Harald wanted to join the World Government, and the Five Elders gave Harald a condition: he had to kill Rocks!

So, many years ago, Harald and Rocks fought a great battle in the land of giants.

The two had not met face to face since their decisive battle in Elbaf many years ago.

Harald chose to cooperate with the World Government in an attempt to secure a peaceful future for the giants, while Rocks embarked on a path of world destruction.

"My orders are to stop a pirate crew obsessed with a woman from heading to God Valley." Harald's voice was calm and emotionless.

Rocks laughed: "With just one ship?"

“If we fight with all our might, sinking your little boat will be a piece of cake.”

Harald pointed into the distance, "See that surveillance ship? The government is watching us."

Only then did Rocks notice the surveillance ship in the distance, a reconnaissance vessel flying the World Government flag hiding in the shadows of the clouds.

It turned out that he and Harald had already arrived on the stage.

He scoffed, "So you think this is how you accumulate merit with the World Government?"
