One Piece: From the God Valley Era

Chapter 71

[The Navy is conducting a massive recruitment drive, inviting talented individuals from around the world to join the Navy and create a harmonious maritime environment!]

[World Conference convened ahead of schedule! Harald, the King of Giants, appears in the Sabaody Archipelago!]

Vegapunk, a super genius who was 500 years ahead of the world!

One shocking piece of news after another swept across the sea like snowflakes, landing on everyone.

Some were excited, some were fearful, and some were worried...

However, everyone knows that the world order has undergone tremendous changes, and no one knows what the future holds.

But this world is never short of gamblers, and some have already set sail to choose their future world rulers.

Deep within the New World lies the Land of Dragon Balls.

Acunoa arrived at the harbor, gazing at the ships in the distance with a slight smile on his face.

"Rocks really came," Stussy said, standing next to Acnoya, his eyes narrowed. "I thought he was just joking."

"Me too," Gloria nodded.

Acnoa had previously invited Lox to settle here, and Lox had agreed, but neither of them took it seriously.

They couldn't believe that a world-class pirate would be subservient to someone else, especially since his former crew had turned the tables on him.

This is utterly upside down!

Of course, such things happen frequently at sea.

A crew member betrays his boss, then becomes captain himself, only to be betrayed in the same way, and so on.

This is what happens daily and most of the things that happen in a pirate crew.

That's why they thought it was a terrifying thing that Rocks was really coming.

"You don't understand men!" Acnoya laughed, hugging the two of them. "Some men are dedicated to their careers, but others care more about their families."

"Lox had already perfected his career in the first half of his life, but in the second half he wanted to make up for his family."

"

"During the God Valley Incident, his entire family was tragically killed, leaving only his wife and children. Therefore, he felt guilty towards them and stopped being a pirate. However, he was also worried about living on an island without a plan, fearing that he would be plotted against by the World Government and the Navy."

"So we hit it off immediately. I provided him with a safe environment, and he looked after my house. It's that simple!"

"if..."

Stussy wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Acnoya.

"I have absolute confidence in suppressing Lox, so you need to worry about this happening. And this man is also a shrewd man who knows what he can and cannot do."

"And his character is trustworthy; most importantly, he really did bring his wife and children here!"

In some ways, Lox's wife and children were like hostages.

As for going out to fight, Teach can be taken with him.

Of course, he wasn't trying to threaten Rocks, but rather to discipline Teach.

He wanted to prevent Teach from betraying him, but given his strength and the fact that Teach's parents were still around, he shouldn't be capable of such a thing.

Having reliable parents during childhood is very important.

For example, the Roger Pirates who raised Shanks.

Shanks is relatively normal, but Teach, who was raised by Whitebeard, is not so normal.

Of course, it's not entirely Whitebeard's fault. Teach's personality, combined with his environment, led to this situation.

A child's personality is greatly influenced by their environment.

"What if..." Stussy began again, but this time, he didn't finish his sentence.

Acnoya glared at her: "No, there's no such thing as 'what if.' Stop talking nonsense. We'll talk about the future when it comes. It's useless to talk about these things now. It will only add to your troubles and even cause problems."

"Of course, I'll say hello to Lox too."

"Hmph! You stinky man!" Stussy crossed his arms and couldn't help but snort.

You bastard, you won't even let me speak? I won't let you into my bed for the next few days!

Gloria covered her mouth and laughed.

Unlike Stussy, she wasn't a worrier, so she didn't have as many questions and worries.

This is also related to my experience at Amazon Lily.

She used to worry about everything, but now that Acnoya is around, she doesn't need to worry about these things anymore, and she's too lazy to worry about them.

All actions should be taken according to Acnoya's wishes; if he is not present, make your own decisions.

In short, she started lying down too.

This is only possible because you found a reliable man. If you find an unreliable man, you'll end up like Xia Qi.

After all, Shakky was captured by the Celestial Dragons.

Rayleigh isn't exactly reliable either.

He had been putting on a brave face, but after Xia Qi disappeared, he was extremely anxious.

So people shouldn't be arrogant. If you like something, you like it; if you don't like something, you don't like it. Just say it out loud.

Just like Acnoya.

When Acnoya first met Gloria, he looked at her face first, then her chest, and finally her legs, before extending an invitation.

We're all children of the sea, what are you pretending for!

He's a sucker for good looks; if someone's face isn't attractive, then even a perfect body won't help—it'll just affect his appetite.

Of course, it's the same with the lights off, but he prefers the lights on!

Acnoya laughed loudly, then smacked himself on the lips, and then smacked Gloria again before welcoming the arrival of the Roger Pirates.

This time, not only Rocks but also the Roger Pirates came together.

The Roger Pirates came to deliver Rocks, to consult the Poneglyphs, and finally, to address Rayleigh's debt issues.

Five hundred million Berries is nothing to Rayleigh; he could easily amass that amount by robbing a country.

However, Rayleigh was also a strong-willed man, so he chose the Devil Fruit.

Devil Fruits aren't as easy to obtain as 500 million Berries; he needs some time.

However, he has now acquired a decent Devil Fruit and plans to give him one first, while the others will be given to him later.

In short, Rayleigh is a man of his word!

"Hahaha..." Lox's hearty laughter echoed from the ship: "Long time no see, Acnoya. You've been up to something big lately, just like I used to be."

Previously, Rocks was either on his way to cause trouble or was causing trouble. Some of his deeds were never even disclosed; instead, they were destroyed by the World Government to prevent the world from knowing about them.

If all of these things were revealed, Rocks's reputation would be far greater than it is now.

But the high seas are also a place where new generations replace the old. During this time, Rocks lived a secluded life, causing many people to forget about this once great pirate.

At the same time, Acnoya replaced Rocks as the most famous pirate on the sea.

Roger, Whitebeard, Golden Lion, Charlotte Linlin—none of them can compare to him.

"Long time no see, Lox." Acnoya walked up without making a strange laugh and gave him a hug.

Although he is a true pirate, he still can't produce that strange laugh, so... he's just too normal.

"Hey, we're here too!" Roger walked up at this moment, his face beaming.

Upon hearing this, Acnoya rolled her eyes at Roger: "I saw it, but is the money ready?"

"As long as the money is right, I will give you copies of the historical text, and I can even make copies in front of you."

"If you don't have any money, you can leave. I won't let you stay overnight."

"Tch, what a stingy man," Roger said irritably. "The money's already prepared; I guarantee you'll be satisfied."

"So take me to see the official historical records first; I can't wait."

"No way, pay first!" Acnoya chuckled. "I remember you have the ability to hear everything in the world. What if you overheard the location?"

"So please pay first, I don't want to do business at a loss."

"You bastard..." Roger paused for a moment, then burst into laughter, "Here you go, take it."

"However, I should correct something. There are some things I still can't hear, especially things that have historical significance. Even if I do hear them, I can't understand them."

"Ancient script is ancient script, and modern script is modern script. I don't understand ancient script at all."

"There's such a thing?" Acnoya asked, somewhat surprised. "I thought they were speaking in a language you understood."

"No, you don't have that ability, you don't understand it at all."

"Alright..." Acnoya nodded. "Give me the money, and I'll take you there now."

"Alright, Rayleigh, Jabba!" Roger shouted.

The next second, the two took out a large amount of gold, jewelry and pewter from the ship.

In this era, the Pele has not yet depreciated significantly; although it cannot compare to gold, it is still quite resilient.

"Count it out, it's a total of one billion. Now can you take us to see the historical landmarks?" Roger said.

"Stusi, Gloria, you two take stock. I'm taking Roger to see the red Poneglyph markers."

"How many people are you planning to go?" Acnoya asked.

Upon hearing this, Roger paused, then held up three fingers: "Three people: me, Rayleigh, and Jabba."

"Alright, come with me. Locke, you and Stusi will go back with them later."

Upon hearing this, Rocks said, "You trust me that much? This is a billion Berries!"

Acnoya said, "Your coming here is already the greatest show of sincerity. Since you have shown your sincerity, then I will also show my sincerity to you."

"If you choose to take this billion berries, then consider it bad luck that I met the wrong person, or at least I've seen through him."

"Hahaha, betting a billion on my character, you're something else, Acnoya!"

"Just a mere billion!" Acnoya chuckled.

There are still outsiders present, so he didn't reveal anything about the Sky Island gold mine.

He would only tell her after Roger and the others left, or when he was alone with Rocks.

Now that Rocks is here, we're all on the same side now, so there's no need to hide anything from each other.

What is sincerity?

This is sincerity!

Lox gave him a deep look and laughed loudly, "I appreciate your sincerity. I look forward to your guidance in the future."

"Come on, Teach, say hello to your uncle."

Rocks pulled a little kid who looked just like the futuristic black-bearded boy in front of him.

He is Teach, the future Blackbeard.

Acnoya looked at the black-bearded man, laughed, and reached out to stroke his little head: "Teach, right?"

"You won't have to worry about being hunted down in your uncle's territory anymore, but don't cause any trouble, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Teach's eyes lit up: "Uncle, are you the one who killed those Celestial Dragon bastards?"

"That's me!"

"Uncle, you're amazing!"

"Hahahaha..." Acnoya laughed loudly, "That's right, they're bastards, but not Celestial Dragons, they're a bunch of maggots!"

"Maggots?"

"Insects in the latrine!"

"You can just call them that from now on. If you'd like, Uncle can take you to kill these maggots sometime!"

"Ugh, maggots! I'll kill these maggots someday and avenge Grandpa and the others!"

Teach never forgot the tragic deaths of his grandfather and the others; he kept them in his heart.

So he also wanted to kill these bastards and avenge them.

The current Teach is not the Teach from the original story; he still has ambition, but he's not as calculating.

"Great, I like courageous guys like you, I have high hopes for you!"

Acnoya smiled, stood up, and walked towards Roger: "Come on, I'll take you to see the Poneglyph Road Signs."

Immediately, he led Roger, Rayleigh, and Jabba toward the Flower Capital.

On the way there, Rayleigh said, "I got my hands on an Ancient Zoan-type Devil Fruit. Here, take this one; you still need two more."

"Ancient Zoan type?" Acnoya's eyes lit up as he took a box from his hand and opened it.

do not know.

"I checked, this is an ancient species, Allosaurus."

An ancient species, Allosaurus?

Isn't this Drake's Devil Fruit?

But right now, Drake isn't even a fertilized egg, so who cares what he does?

"Allosaurus, that's very good," Acnoya said.

"I'm glad you like it," Rayleigh said. "I'll continue searching for the remaining two, and I definitely won't let you suffer any losses."

"Then I'm relieved."

"By the way, where's Xia Qi? I haven't seen her."

Shakky wasn't seen when the Roger Pirates came.

"She had some things to take care of, so she went back to Kuja," Rayleigh said. "The World Government is too busy dealing with you to have time to worry about Shakky."

"So it's still safe for her to go back now."

"I asked them to move here before, and they are still discussing it."

"Move here?" Rayleigh's eyes lit up. "That's a good choice. If Shakky is here, I won't have to worry about her safety."

"I think Xiaqi went back for this reason too."

"Probably, but I don't know if they'll come or not," Acnoya said. "If they don't come, I'll protect them."

"1

"They are also of Gloria's kind!"

Protecting the Kingdom of Women is all we need to do; it's a piece of cake.

The world government has no right to cause trouble here.
