I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

“No matter what era…” Sig looked at the Revolutionary Army in front of and behind him, as well as the Navy in the distance.

"There will always be some warriors who can't learn to weigh the pros and cons and fight to the death with what you call naive ideas."

Many memories flooded Sigurd's eyes. During his long journey, he had seen slaves with collars on their necks, clowns dancing in the clouds, floods destroying the world, and the Twenty Kings gradually becoming Celestial Dragons riding on the heads of the people... The past was like smoke, and he had gradually transformed from the original Sigurd into the current Mountain Bandit King.

Now, the Mountain Bandit King stands in the Holy Land of Mary Geoise.

He wanted the mountain in front of him to collapse.

Stussy reached out and made a gesture, and a huge air door, over a thousand meters high, slowly opened.

From inside the main gate.

A giant ship, over a thousand meters tall and as imposing as a mountain, opened its eyes. A surge of psychic power swept across the ship, causing the entire Dushan to tremble and rise into the air, flying out from outside the door.

On the deck of the giant warship Dushan, over ten thousand bandits were already prepared, waiting to break through the air portal.

The reason for having the main force wait inside the gate was to guard against an attack from Uranus, the king of the gods.

The Heavenly King is flawed; after a full-power bombardment, there will be no second shot for a short period of time.

Now, it's time for the bandits to make their appearance.

A vast crowd surged forth, the number of bandits exceeding ten thousand, and they had already set foot on the land of the Red Earth Continent.

“The moment has finally come.” The bald man’s eyes gleamed. He lowered his head, bent down, and grabbed a handful of the crimson soil at his feet.

"This is the Red Earth Continent..." he sighed, his eyes slightly moist.

From the East China Sea to the Grand Line, from lurking in the Devil's Triangle to making a high-profile entry into the Navy Headquarters, and blasting open the Red Line to enter the New World.

now.

After a long journey, they finally arrived at Mary Geoise, the holy land of their dreams.

The bandits picked up their weapons and charged out alongside the revolutionary soldiers, their eyes gleaming with an alarming intensity.

"This is the highest peak on the Red Line, the sacred site of Mary Geoise."

"And we are bandits!"

"We don't need to say more about what will happen next, do we?"

The Sky Island warriors with wings on their backs shouted: "We want to stand on the ground and live on land."

Arlong, the fishman, hoisted his large serrated sword and charged out with the crowd, his face cold and icy. He roared:

"I want to live in the sunshine, and I want to open an Arlong Paradise in the Sabaody Archipelago that's even better than Sabaody Paradise!"

"Celestial Dragons, your bandit grandpa is here!"

"Today, I have a dream!"

Amid shouts and laughter, a continuous stream of people poured out of the air door.

Chapter 1277 Origin of Myths

Half an hour ago.

The Red-Haired Pirates' pirate ship, the Red Devil, sailed through the night on the open sea, heading towards the gap in the Red Line and the direction of Marine Headquarters.

suddenly.

A dazzling beam of light descended from the direction of the Red Earth, illuminating the heavens and the earth. A massive explosion erupted in the Holy Land of Mary Geoise, instantly dispelling the night and illuminating the area as bright as day.

The once calm sea surface instantly boiled, and the roaring waves rolled up to tens of meters high, almost capsizing the pirate ship on the spot, forcing the Red-Haired Pirates crew to make hasty adjustments.

On the bow deck, two figures stood gazing at the red earth continent, their eyes deep and unfathomable.

"The power of Uranus, the Heavenly King?" Shanks looked up at the Red Line.

Uranus, the Heavenly King, has been used repeatedly by the World Government in this war and is already known to the world, as is Shanks.

Hawkeye stood beside him, also gazing at the holy land. Under the night sky, his sharp, hawk-like eyes narrowed slightly as he stared intently into the distance.

For those who are proficient in Observation Haki, although it cannot compare to the Gaze-Gaze ​​Fruit, they can still see a much wider view.

At this distance, they could vaguely sense what was happening at the Holy Land.

"I thought Sig and his men would attack Marine Headquarters, but I didn't expect them to be so aggressive. Did they choose the Holy Land as their target?" Shanks said in a low voice.

"It seems they actually managed to block Uranus's attack. That's amazing," Hawkeye said, a hint of regret in his eyes.

During the Marineford War, he left midway and did not participate in the final battle. He did not see the scene of Sieg catching Uranus with his bare hands; he only heard about it later.

This time, it seems he was late again.

"Has it stopped them? Impressive. It seems the course of the war is becoming clearer," Shanks replied.

As one of the Four Emperors, Shanks certainly wouldn't stand idly by in a war that could change the fate of the world.

This time, he led the entire pirate crew, and even brought Hawkeye along, which naturally had his reasons, it was just a little late.

Hawkeye paused for a moment, then suddenly said:

"A little later might not necessarily be a bad thing."

"What do you mean?"

"It's nothing, just a bad feeling." Hawkeye opened his mouth, but didn't continue.

While not all of his encounters with Sieg were bad, the previous ones had left him with lingering resentment for years.

After the final battle of the Marineford War, Hawkeye knew that he did not yet have the power to defeat Higurashi, so he did not want to see Higurashi again at this time.

"Are you referring to Uranus, the Heavenly King?" Shanks, however, was thinking of something else entirely.

“That’s true. If Uranus is really nothing more than that, then the outcome is already decided,” a voice said.

It wasn't Hawkeye or Shanks who spoke.

About ten steps away, a panda was standing brazenly by the ship's railing, casually interjecting a remark.

Neither Shanks nor Hawkeye noticed anything amiss and continued their conversation, picking up where Pandaman left off.

The panda's eyes flickered, and he vaguely recalled something.

.......................

Several months earlier, when he met Sieg again under the World Tree in Elbaf, the two had a long talk.

The Pandaren talked about some strange and wonderful stories that had been lost to history over the past eight hundred years, and Sieg listened quietly for most of the time, but asked a question that left a deep impression on the Pandaren.

"Why is the King of Gods called Uranus?" Sieg asked at the time.

"...It's just a name, why is there any reason?" The Pandaren didn't understand Sig's meaning at first.

“Uranus, Pluto, Poseidon—these are, of course, the names of gods,” Sieg said.

"But these ancient weapons are named after them, and these names are certainly more than just simple names."

The name Uranus, the Heavenly King, first appeared in the Fish-Man Island arc, when it was mentioned by King Neptune of Fish-Man Island himself.

Uranus, the god of the heavens; Pluto, the god of the underworld; and Poseidon, the god of the sea.

These are three ancient weapons named after gods, said to possess the power to destroy or save the world.

Poseidon, the king of the sea creatures, can command all sea creatures and is capable of changing the order of the entire New World ocean with his own power, truly deserving of the name of Poseidon, the god of the sea.

Pluto, the god of the underworld, is a super battleship capable of destroying an island with a single shot. This super battleship possesses astonishing firepower and is worthy of the name Pluto, the god of the underworld who brings death.

So, what about the Heavenly King?

Poseidon is the name of the sea god in ancient Greek mythology.

Pluto is the name of the Roman god of the underworld, equivalent to the more widely known Hades.

so...

"Why is the name of the King of the Gods Uranus, and not Zeus or Jupiter?" Sieg asked.

Zeus is the king of the gods in ancient Greece, while Jupiter is Zeus's Roman mythological counterpart.

If the name of the king of the gods is Zeus, then the three ancient weapons would form a complete series. But why is the name of the king of the gods Uranus?

"The name Uranus, the Heavenly King, is not equivalent to or on par with Poseidon or Pluto," the Pandaren said.

"Uranus, the king of the gods, who served as the ancient kingdom's immigration ship, has an extraordinary significance."

Uranus is the name of the first generation of gods in Greek mythology. Zeus, Poseidon, Hades, and others belong to the third generation of gods.

He is more ancient, the origin of mythology, born from the fingertips of Gaia, the Earth Mother Goddess. He is Gaia's "man-made creation," the first ruler, the strongest god, and represents the sky.

In contrast.

The Uranus, as an immigrant spaceship, represents the origin of ancient civilization, as well as the sky, the stars, and overwhelming military power.

In mythology, the first Titan, Uranus, and Gaia gave birth to the twelve Titans. The youngest Titan, along with his filial son Cronus, rebelled against the first Titan. When heaven and earth were united, Cronus castrated Uranus with a knife, thus separating the sky from the earth. The castrated Uranus, now missing a spot, forever floated at the highest point of the world, which is now the starry sky.

This is the ancient Greek version of the creation myth.

"Therefore, the fact that the World Government has repeatedly used the power of Uranus, the King of the Universe, is enough to prove one thing."

"Uranus, or rather the current Uranus, is a card that the World Government has shown, not its trump card."

The pandaren gazed at the distant holy land, their thoughts in turmoil.

As a historian, he should also witness this historical event.

Chapter 1278 Symbol of Peace 7000

Mary Geoise.

This place has become a battlefield where warriors fight each other.

"Meteor Volcano!"

The scorching volcanic fist exploded high in the sky, turning into streams of molten lava that rained down from the sky, piercing through tall buildings and the earth, filling the battlefield with the pungent smell of sulfur.

"Get out of my way!"

"Relying solely on the power of the Navy will never achieve true justice! Even if all pirates are wiped out, the Celestial Dragons will still be trampling on the heads of the people."

"The slave market in the Sabaody Archipelago cannot be solved by one or two so-called heroes alone."
