Pirate: I was just slacking off, do you really think I'm bad?

At this moment, the people watching the live broadcast couldn't help but shout as they released their emotions.

Some of the older people wept bitterly.

This simple sentence ended the conversation and directly broke down their psychological defenses.

They lived in a chaotic era, and many of them directly experienced the Great Pirate Era started by Roger.

As survivors who barely made it to the end, they hated the existence of pirates more than anyone else.

Perhaps, if their loved ones hadn't sacrificed themselves, they too might have died at the hands of pirates.

Now, finally hearing the word "end" from the Admiral, they could no longer suppress their grief and wept bitterly.

A six or seven-year-old girl, seeing her mother and the surrounding older men and women crying, couldn't help but tug at her mother's hand and ask:

"Mom, why are you and Uncle George crying? Did someone bully you?"

Young Alice had never experienced a pirate attack since birth, so she naturally didn't know the pain of those who were weeping.

She tilted her head, looking at everyone around her with complete incomprehension.

Hearing her daughter's words, the mother, her eyes red, wiped away her tears, knelt down, hugged Alice tightly, and said:

"Alice, no one is bullying Mommy anymore. No one will ever bully us again."

"That's why everyone is happy."

Alice looked puzzled and said:

"But Mom, didn't you tell me that I only cry when I'm sad?"

Alice only laughs when she's happy, she doesn't cry.

Alice's mother hugged Alice tightly.

Long-buried memories resurfaced vividly before her eyes.

She was about the same age as Alice at that time. She was a carefree little girl who would pester her brother to play with her every day.

Life was peaceful and warm.

Until one day, a large ship with menacing features and a black skull hanging from it arrived at their village.

The elderly village chief was stabbed through the chest by their swords, and her parents fell to their spears. To save her life, her brother hid her in their secret base and ran off into the distance, drawing away two low-level pirates.

The fire burned in the village all night.

She finally emerged from the secret base when everything had turned to ashes the next day.

They're pirates!

No reason whatsoever!

That's completely unreasonable!

They easily robbed her of her happy life.

She originally had loving parents and a brother, as well as a childhood sweetheart she loved.

However, a man-made disaster caused by the evil pirate group destroyed all her happiness.

From then on, she became homeless.

Until she met her husband, a brave soldier who fought against pirates.

The two got together and had Alice.

The two of them originally decided to live their lives happily together.

But when the Navy issued its worldwide conscription order, her husband resolutely pulled out his uniform again and stepped onto the battlefield.

She had no complaints, she just hoped her husband would come back.

In fact, her husband died less than two months after setting foot on the battlefield of the New World in a battle against the Charlotte Linlin family.

But she wasn't too sad, because her husband's will and medals were sent back at the same time.

"My dear Holly."

"By the time you read this letter, I will have already sacrificed myself on the battlefield against the pirates."

"But please don't be sad for me, because I am practicing my faith."

"As Field Marshal Raleigh once said, if we don't solve some problems in our generation, then the next generation will have to solve them."

"If the war against pirates cannot end with the efforts of our generation, then Alice will live in the same environment as we did when we were children."

"I fear death because it will prevent us from being together again, but I cannot bear the thought of Alice living in an era ravaged by pirates."

"If one day, this sinful era is ended by Fleet Admiral Raleigh himself, and the evil pirates are completely wiped out by the valiant Navy led by Fleet Admiral Raleigh, you must remember to come to my grave and tell me."

So when she heard the answer she had been waiting for from Marshal Raleigh while watching the live broadcast, she finally couldn't suppress her emotions and burst into tears.

"because...:

"Because your father's and my wish has finally come true."

"From now on, our little princess Alice can live a carefree life."

She seemed to see the image of her husband, looking at her and Alice in his arms with loving eyes.

Following that, many more people appeared behind her husband.

She has her parents when they were young, her older brother who never grew up, and her childhood sweetheart whom she once admired.

They were all looking at themselves with eyes full of happiness.

He kept repeating the same sentence.

"Herri, live well and see the world for us."

The scale of this outburst of public emotion surprised even Raleigh, who had anticipated it.

It lasted for more than half an hour.

If Raleigh hadn't forcefully spoken up, interrupting their continued revelry...

Raleigh was even afraid that some people might die suddenly from excessive excitement.

After he interrupted everyone's emotions, the soldiers remembered their duties and returned to formation.

They maintained order at the scene.

After venting their frustrations, the people on the island gradually calmed down.

The reporters who had been frantically snapping photos couldn't help but swallow hard, their eyes shining as they gazed at the handsome naval commander before them.

After seeing that everyone's emotions had been calmed down, Raleigh walked to the podium again and began to speak:

"Everyone here experienced the Great Pirate Era, which was started by the so-called Pirate King Gol D. Roger. Roger's most famous lie was that he hid all his wealth on the final island, Laugh Tale."

"That's why so many pirates keep setting sail in search of the Pirate King's treasure."

"But so many years have passed, and not a single pirate who went to sea has been able to find the so-called treasure of the Pirate King. Instead, they have caused a huge massacre around the world."

"Now, we are going to put an absolute end to the lies that Roger has fabricated."

Behind Raleigh stood two enormous historical texts.

He pointed to the two historical inscriptions and said:

"Gol D. Roger once said that to find his treasure, one must collect all the Poneglyphs that record the Road Poneglyphs, and one must be able to decipher them."

"Only after all these conditions are met will there be a chance to obtain the signpost to Laugh Tale and the so-called One Piece."

"The Navy has cleared out the territories of the two Emperors and found two so-called Poneglyphs with road signs. My next task is to completely destroy them."

As Raleigh spoke, Enel and Barrett together carried in a massive device.

It looks just like a bullet, but it is also clearly different from a bullet.

Raleigh didn't explain the origin of the equipment, but instead told everyone present about its purpose.

"This is something that can allow people to defy gravity, fly infinitely into the sky, and eventually fly out of this world."

I named it Rocket.

After Raleigh pressed a button on the device, the rocket's nose tilted to the side under mechanical action, revealing its hollow structure.

Enel jumped onto the edge of the rocket, while Barrett below gripped a Poneglyph tightly.

He threw it forcefully towards Enel's location.

Enel took over and then stuffed the Poneglyphs into the hollow interior of the rocket.

The rocket warheads began to slowly merge.

Raleigh turned and solemnly looked at the crowd of people and naval soldiers below the stage, as well as the reporters from various newspapers, and began to speak:

"With the press of this button, this Poneglyph will never be found in this world again, and the dream of becoming the Pirate King will be shattered."

Luo pressed hard on another red button on the side of the rocket.

With a mechanical whirring sound, scorching flames suddenly erupted from the bottom, carrying a powerful impact as it slowly flew into the air.

And the speed is constantly increasing.

At this moment, everyone's eyes followed the rocket's ascent into the sky.

They didn't even blink, afraid of missing this important historical moment.

Until the rocket rose into the air and detached from its base, it unleashed an even more powerful shockwave.

boom!

With a tremendous roar, the rocket accelerated faster and faster, even exceeding the limits of human vision.

At such a high speed, no one could stop the rocket from taking off.

The live stream footage changed along with the rocket's trajectory until it became a tiny black dot and disappeared into the sky.

Raleigh didn't keep them waiting long, putting the second Poneglyph into the rocket and launching it again.

However, this time the rocket's direction was completely opposite to that of the rocket that had just launched.

Raleigh's voice rang out softly only after the crowd was completely absorbed in the sight of the rocket soaring into the sky:

"Gentlemen, this is the Navy's latest research and development of a rocket booster."

"It is equipped with the most advanced fuel we have today, which can provide the power to escape this world. It will carry the so-called Poneglyphs and travel in space forever."

"Furthermore, we have deliberately adjusted the orientation of the two historical texts. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, there is only a one in a billion chance that they will return to this world."

"But I think by then, pirates in this world had completely become just a term in books."

Raleigh's lighthearted laughter seemed to mock Roger's carefully crafted lies.

He used the simplest method to destroy all the pirates who set sail because of their dreams.

Although he didn't know how the pirates would curse him, he didn't care.

Because next, he will launch a final attack on the pirates and completely eliminate all pirate forces.

Even though their necks ached from looking up, the viewers in front of the screen still refused to lower their heads.

After watching the rocket completely disappear, they remained motionless for a long time.

A few minutes later, a shout from an older man who was the first to react rekindled the passion that had just died down in the others.

Because this was a live broadcast to everyone in the world, the message was transmitted to every corner of the world at the fastest speed.

It can be said that the Navy's live broadcast completely shattered the dreams of all pirates who dreamed of obtaining the One Piece and the title of Pirate King, trampling their laughable dreams and pathetic goals underfoot.

In the council hall of Mary Geoise, the holy land of the Celestial Dragons.

The Five Elders fell into a long silence.

The silent atmosphere made it impossible for all the CP members who were guarding in the shadows to remain calm.

After a long silence, the Five Elders of the Demon Blade finally spoke:

"I recommend that the risk assessment for Christine Raleigh be raised to the next level."

"This guy has exceeded everyone's expectations."

If you had to describe Raleigh's style of doing things in one word, it would be "absolutely amazing!"

Being ruthless to the enemy and ruthless to oneself is not the most terrifying opponent.

The most formidable opponent is always the one who pushes the road to its limits.

Because he had no other way out, he could only go all the way.

Even the Five Elders, who hated Raleigh the most, had to admire the effect that Raleigh's move could achieve.

Because if those pirates knew that their hard-won dream had been destroyed, most of them would probably lose their will to fight.

On the Grand Line, the Straw Hat Pirates, who had just entered Paradise, were also watching this live stream.

When they saw the two Poneglyphs disappear into the sky, everyone fell silent.

Even the most talkative people remained silent, watching the boy with his head buried under his straw hat.

Zoro, with his earring and green hair, had a furrowed brow.

His dream wasn't to become the Pirate King, but to become the world's greatest swordsman.

However, according to the information from this live broadcast, the Navy is about to launch a final battle against the pirates. Based on their itinerary, even the fastest route will not be able to reach the New World smoothly.

Moreover, even in the amusement park, they only managed to escape the navy's capture net several times by sheer luck.

If nothing unexpected happens, they will eventually remain in the Sabaody Archipelago and be unable to cross the Red Line to reach the New World.

"Damn it, if only I had a little more time."

"I'm so close to my goal, the world's greatest swordsman - Red-Haired Shanks!"

Zoro was filled with regret, and he also did not believe that Shanks could withstand the Navy's offensive.

That was an attack by three admirals. Even with Shanks's superior swordsmanship and Haki, he couldn't withstand the combined attack of two admirals.

Luffy, his gaze resolute, emerged from beneath his straw hat and said:

"Nami, I need to rush to the New World with all my might!"

"I'm going to find Shanks, I'm going to help him!"

"Please, you have to help me, please!!!"
