Sailing: The crew members are all top-notch talents!

But compared to that person, what is he?

Unfortunately, that person disappeared without a trace after the battle of God Valley, and no one knows where he went.

But he believed that the man was ambitious, and that he must be watching the world from somewhere in the ocean, like a tiger waiting for the right moment to strike.

When the time is right, the sea will undergo another dramatic transformation because of him.

Da da da

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Roger finally reached the end and stood on the execution platform.

He slowly raised his head, scanning his surroundings expressionlessly, and spotted many familiar faces.

Meeting Roger's gaze, these people had different expressions.

A few seconds later, he lowered his head again.

clang

At the same time, the death knell tolled completely.

The execution is about to begin!

The scene was deathly silent!

"Do you want my treasure?!"

Just then, Roger, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up.

His words immediately shattered the calm atmosphere.

It is common knowledge that Gol D. Roger, the Pirate King, possessed an immense fortune.

However, the exact location of this wealth remains unknown.

If they could acquire this wealth, they could instantly become the richest people in the world.

At this thought, everyone present had a burning desire in their eyes.

Someone couldn't help but speak up immediately:

"Roger, where exactly did you hide the treasure?!"

"Was it in the East China Sea, or in the place where you last lived?!"

"Hahahaha.....You mean ONE PIECE?!"

Upon hearing this, Roger's lips curled into a slight smile, and he raised his voice loudly.

Upon hearing "ONE PIECE," many powerful figures hidden in the crowd clenched their fists.

Does that thing really exist?!

Most commoners only know that Roger arrived at Laugh Tale and obtained a great treasure.

But besides that, they also know that there is a secret there that could overturn the entire world.

Seeing Roger's dramatic turnaround, the bigwigs began to believe that the thing really existed.

Roger surveyed the surrounding gazes, taking in the greed in everyone's eyes.

He had no surprises.

After all, who can resist the allure of treasure, especially since it also holds a secret about the D clan?

But let these guys find out the truth.

"Roger, stop keeping me in suspense and tell me already!!"

"Where exactly did you hide the treasure?!"

"Since you're about to die anyway, tell us the location of the treasure!"

"..."

The execution time had arrived, and seeing that Roger still hadn't spoken, everyone around him grew anxious.

"You all want my treasure, don't you? I can tell you!"

"Shut up!!"

Two executioners nearby shouted sternly, raising the two long swords crossed in front of Roger.

Before the execution, they had received orders that Roger must not reveal any information about that matter.

Ignoring them, Roger shouted loudly at the crowd:

"Hahahaha... Go find it! I've hidden the treasure in Laugh Tale!"

"asshole!!"

The two executioners' expressions changed drastically. After exchanging a glance, they simultaneously swung their knives and brought them down hard on Roger's neck.

"Renault, you also want to dominate this world, right?!"

In the final moments of his life, Roger uttered his last words.

The knife fell, and the man died!

In the year 1498 of the Sea Calendar, Gol D. Roger, the Pirate King, was executed by the Navy in Loguetown in the East Blue at the age of 53, ending his extraordinary life.

Every word he uttered before his death caused a huge sensation on the high seas.

The treasure hidden in Laugh Tale goes without saying, but Renault...

This name, which had been gradually forgotten by countless people and had not been mentioned for fourteen years, has once again entered people's field of vision because of a single sentence from Roger.

·····Requesting 0 flowers·····

Newcomers have only heard his legends, but only those veterans who have had contact with Renault know how terrifying he is.

That was an existence even more terrifying than Rocks at his peak or Roger at his peak.

Roger's last words left everyone present stunned.

Who is Renault?

How could the Pirate King mention this before his death?

In no time, news of ONE PIECE and the name Renault spread like wildfire across the seas.

Countless pirates recruited men, set sail, and began searching for Roger's great treasure.

The Great Pirate Era has officially begun!

......

.......

next day!

Inside a room in the town of Logue.

The phonograph in the room was playing a beautiful symphony.

Not long after disappearing for fourteen years, Renault, who had never appeared in public, listened to music while flipping through ancient books in his hands.

call

As he finished reading the last page, Reno closed the book and slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.

My thoughts drifted away.

He also went to the scene of Roger's execution yesterday and witnessed the whole process.

To his surprise, Roger mentioned his name before he died.

Isn't this just asking for trouble for him?!

His name had just been forgotten, but because of Roger's words, it will probably be a hot topic again for a while.

Of course, he didn't pay too much attention to it.

And it's time to put his plan into action.

Although he had been lying low in the shadows for fourteen years, he was fully aware of what was happening in the outside world.

Fourteen years have passed in the blink of an eye.

His various plans have made groundbreaking progress.

First and foremost were Rogue and Jess, whose reputations and offers far higher prices than other guilds led to their business snowballing.

0 ...........

By now, their business has spread throughout the underground world, even reaching a level of monopoly.

Over the years, they have given countless amounts of gold and diamonds to Reynolds.

After being amplified a hundredfold by Hajrudin's Momo Fruit, even Reno didn't know how much wealth he had now.

If the treasure Roger mentioned is indeed gold and silver, it probably wouldn't even amount to as much as Renault's storage warehouse.

Of course, being unfamiliar with the area, Roger and Jess inevitably encountered some troubles while expanding their business.

This brings us to the Shadow Assassin Guild and the Flameflower intelligence organization.

With the initial financial support from Renault, coupled with the strong backing of Redfield, the company was able to secure funding in the early stages.

They quickly established themselves in Beihai, a place teeming with assassins.

Over fourteen years, the Shadow directly and violently controlled the underground assassin guild across the world.

When Jess and Rogue encounter trouble but it's inconvenient for them to intervene, the Shadow will simply send assassins to solve the problem for them.

Flameflower, of course, was not idle either, and together with Kaido, they laid out a huge intelligence network.

If she wants to know any information, she only needs to give an order.

The entire underground intelligence network across the world will start operating like a giant machine immediately.

Deliver the information she wants to know to her in the shortest possible time.

Their influence is now spreading to the Grand Line and the New World.

However, it is much more difficult to gradually conquer these two places than to conquer the four seas.

Nowadays, intelligence organizations, assassin guilds, and merchant guilds around the world complement each other and achieve mutual success.

Rupert and Halding, who existed independently, achieved even more remarkable results.

To ensure the stability of the black lion tiger, Rupert spent a full six months testing it.

After confirming everything was in order, Rupert and Hajrudin returned to Wano Country.

In Wano Country, they established an assembly line, prepared various materials, and began production.

Today, the number of black lion tigers has reached tens of thousands.

Not only that, there were also nearly 10,000 black-armored beasts.

The Black Lion Tiger's advantage lies in its speed and the fact that it is equipped with both light and heavy artillery, making it suitable for long-range fire suppression.

The Black Armored Beast, on the other hand, has stronger defenses and is equipped with a sharper longsword and a sturdier shield, making it suitable for close combat.

One is far away, and the other is near!

Compared to the other two, the Black Armor Beast is more difficult to create and requires more manpower, material resources, and financial resources.

From having this idea to actually putting the Black Armor Beast into production, Rupert spent nearly two years.

Keep in mind that this was done after they already had experience in manufacturing black lions and tigers.

The level of difficulty is evident.

Moreover, to prevent the enemy from taking it back for research.

Rupert also installed a self-destruct device and set a password in the most critical area to ensure absolute safety.

Everything is proceeding smoothly!

Bringing his thoughts back to reality, Renault focused his consciousness into his mind.

"Check the system!"
