Arceus' Pirate Journey

"200 Baileys? Today's newspaper is really expensive. Is there any big news?"

The first half of the Grand Line, known as Paradise, is still not very peaceful today, but this noise has no effect on most people, they just mechanically repeat their previous lives.

Chaha is a farmer. Apart from farming, his way of entertainment is to read newspapers occasionally, and the World Economic News Agency is the newspaper he is most familiar with.

The price of Morgans' news also fluctuates according to the content. The current base price is 100 Baileys, and the increase generally does not exceed 138 Baileys. 200 Baileys per copy is extremely rare.

A few dozen Baileys were not a lot, and Charles did not care, letting the News Bird take away those Baileys.

Coming to the chair beside the farmland, he wanted to drink a cup of strong tea as usual, but when he saw the headline of the newspaper, the cup in his hand couldn't help but slip to the ground.

Chapter 1307 Your pickaxe is gone

"Luffy! Oh no, something happened to your grandfather!"

For a moment, Nami even forgot that this newspaper was 100 Baileys more expensive than usual. In wealthier places, no one would pick up a 100 Bailey coin if it fell on the ground.

But for Nami, when her life is not in danger, these 100 berries are a big deal.

Under normal circumstances, Nami could have persistently harassed the Newsbird for the 100 Baileys until it compromised and agreed to lower the price.

In the end, it was the words on the newspaper that changed Nami's mind. From the corner of her eye, she saw Garp, Fall, and a series of key words combined together, which gave her a feeling that something was wrong.

Between partner and money, partner is more important. Let alone 100 Baileys, even if another million is added on top, she would not be tempted.

After the Newsbird was glad that the demon in front of him did not continue to bargain, Nami's roar also reached Luffy's ears.

"My grandpa? What could happen to him?"

"The newspaper said he encountered a shipwreck, and his fate is unknown in the pirates' territory... He may have been captured..."

"Hahahaha, how is that possible? Who wrote that newspaper article? How is such a thing possible? You must have read it wrong."

After hearing what Nami said, Luffy did not get anxious. Instead, he lay down with his hands on his stomach, and kept laughing as if he had heard some huge joke.

Luffy has a significant psychological trauma towards Garp.

Anyone who has been tied to a balloon and flown high into the sky, thrown into the depths of a jungle full of wild beasts, or thrown into an abyss since childhood, and has to endure the iron fist of love from time to time, will suffer psychological trauma.

With this training method, it would be better to let Luffy and Garp beat the warship together. In this case, it is hard to say who is the grandson.

In Luffy's heart, he already had a fear of Garp, and his first reaction when he saw him was to run. Similarly, he didn't think anyone could defeat this monster Garp, let alone be caught by pirates.

"Who are you kidding! Come and see for yourself!"

The ship tyrant used her power at this moment, and Luffy's head was pulled up by Nami, and the words on the newspaper appeared in his eyes at a close distance.

"This is the order issued by the Navy Headquarters yesterday. This is today's newspaper. Look what's written here!"

[Navy hero Garp encountered a shipwreck while on a mission. Nearby residents please assist the navy in finding Garp's whereabouts. Once you find his whereabouts, please contact the nearest branch as soon as possible. ]

[According to the latest news from our newspaper, it is unknown whether Karp is alive or dead...]

"No... No way, is there anyone who can do such a thing..."

The smile on Luffy's face had faded, from happy to serious, and now doubtful, all in just a moment.

"How can a shipwreck like this trap Grandpa? This doesn't make sense..."

The power of the sea is terrifying. During the Battle of Eidwal, if it weren't for the help of the weather, the Golden Lion's fleet would not have been defeated so easily. However, Luffy was using himself as an analogy.

He was able to escape danger when he encountered a shipwreck, so how could Garp, who is so much stronger than him, fail?

"There is more news later. You should read it first before talking about it. However, there is no clear death information, it is just that the life and death are unknown."

After hearing what Nami said, Luffy flipped through the newspaper hastily, only to see the information they had just ignored.

"Shanks? Shanks has formed an alliance with the Beasts and Big Thieves?!"

Bang!

There was a muffled sound coming from the deck next to him. Luo, who had been hanging out on the Straw Hat Pirates' ship every day and had no time to return, fell on the deck. The news just now seemed to have shocked him greatly.

"What did you say?!"

Now the Polar Diver is following the Sunshine. Luo just returned to the ship to arrange some things. Unexpectedly, he heard an explosive news as soon as he came back.

Luo didn't know about Garp's previous affairs, but an alliance of this scale was beyond his understanding.

Before he stood up completely, Law walked towards the Straw Hat and snatched the newspaper away a little rashly.

"What's wrong? Is it a big impact? Those people also pestered me to get a large fleet before, it should be the same thing."

"Not even close!"

Luffy's comparison made Law a little angry. Even though he was about to be assimilated, he still couldn't accept Luffy's big lines.

Not to mention the current Straw Hat Pirates, even the Straw Hat Grand Fleet in the original timeline cannot be compared with this alliance.

"What are you thinking? These are two completely different things! Kaido, Red Hair, and Big are the most powerful monsters on the sea. Any one of them can alarm the navy. If the three of them form an alliance... is there really anyone who can rival them on this sea?"

Now Law has no obsession with One Piece, and he has received news from his only remaining relative. This news shocked him, but it did not scare him.

The issues that Law is considering now are more related to Doflamingo, but no matter how he thinks about it, Doflamingo will not be valued by the three sea emperors at the same time.

The situation Luo is facing now is actually the same as before.

The ones who were truly worried about this were Kin'emon and Kanjuro.

"Kanjuro, did you hear that? That Kaido...actually allied with someone."

"Not only is it an alliance, but the one we are allying with is also quite terrifying. The difficulty of our goal has increased again..."

Kin'emon and Kanjuro were talking in low voices. One Kaido was enough to give them a headache, let alone three.

They also sailed on the ship for a while and no longer knew anything about the outside world.

Chapter 1308: A growing heart, misleading words, and a mysterious old friend

"You've talked about your brother a lot, but I've never heard you talk about this part."

"As you know, I am Roger's son, but I have no impression of my parents. I only heard about them from other people."

"Roger's sword... is called Ace."

"Is that so? But it doesn't matter anymore."

Looking at the flames burning on his fingers, Ace's thoughts went back to the past.

"I grew up in the territory of bandits. Although they are bandits, they are a good group of people. Garp... I should call him grandpa. Although I don't spend as much time with him as Dadan and the others, he still finds time to come back every year.

But at that time, Luffy and I didn't really want to see him. Every time we met, he would chase us and say that we must join the navy... After going to sea, I saw him again in Impelton."

Marco didn't interrupt, just waited quietly for Ace to finish what he said.

"so what."

"If grandpa is really trapped in that kind of place... I think I should go and save him, but..."

The flames on his hands died down and Ace sat up again.

"I thought about my father's last words for a long time. Without the power of the Sea Emperor, some words are just empty talk. Responsibility is not something that can be shouldered so easily. In the past, I was... too impulsive.

If I were not so impulsive, maybe now..."

"It's a good thing that you can understand this. Dad doesn't want to die in bed like an old man. He can leave the stage in a grand manner and shout out those words to the whole world. This can be regarded as completing his goal.

So you don't have to blame yourself all the time. It's a pity. If dad could see your growth earlier, he would be more relieved. "

Ace only grew up after Whitebeard's death. He experienced a lot in the past two years and realized the consequences of impulsiveness.

Now that the three major pirate groups have formed an alliance, the remaining living space for the remnants of the Whitebeard Pirates is likely to be further compressed. At this time, he must not make overly impulsive decisions.

Garp is his grandfather, but he has nothing to do with the Whitebeard Pirates. Garp himself has deep ties with the Whitebeard Pirates and cannot lead the Whitebeard Pirates into the abyss on his own.

Even if Whitebeard was still alive, he would not go to war with these three people at the same time.

The other party’s alliance has just been formed, and they may be waiting for an opportunity to establish their power.

"It's hard to say where your grandfather is now, right? Even the navy hasn't given any definite information. They must have your grandfather's life card, and it seems they are worried about something.

You are right. Rash actions are not advisable. However, it is also okay to just investigate the situation and take a look nearby. The Navy cannot just sit there and do nothing. We just need to seize the opportunity.

Izo also wants to investigate the cause of Mr. Oden's death. He doesn't believe the beast's words at all. Maybe you can come together."

"Yeah, that makes sense..."

After growing up, Ace did not do anything impulsive. Instead, he calmed down and decided to wait and see for a while.

As Marco said, the World Government and the Navy should be more anxious about this matter.

Apart from those who have direct or indirect family ties with Garp, other forces have a completely different focus on this matter.

Deep sea, Fishman Island.

Neptune and others, who had just visited the Divine Grace Ceremony, have returned to Ryugu Castle and reached trade agreements with several countries in the Beast Territory. After seeing the supreme power and the ideal country in their dreams, Otohime is now full of energy.

Not only did she visit the situation in Wano Country, she also audited classes at the monastery. Although she did not turn into a fanatic, she also had new goals for the future.

Before they could digest the news, the news from the Grand Alliance was delivered to Fishman Island.

"Their alliance...then the seas of the New World are almost integrated together."

"Isn't this a good thing? If the sea emperors choose to unite, there will be fewer wars on the seas of the New World, right?

There are almost no ships that can enter Fishman Island nowadays, so this way, we have more room to move around.

The New Fishman Island has also been settled down, and we should arrange for residents who want to live there to go there. The future of this new home is very bright. "

"It may not be stable. The hinterland of their territory will become more stable, but there may be more attacks from pirates from the outside. In addition, with the incident with Garp, the navy will not remain deaf and dumb. I'm afraid there will be a war."

Neptune is not as optimistic as Otohime, but is worried about possible situations.

"By the way, regarding Haku and the others' suggestions, should we agree to them?"

"We will try to help as much as we can. There is no possibility of reconciliation between us and the World Government. If we don't overthrow the current World Government, we will have no new life. The Revolutionary Army is also a force to be reckoned with."

Fishman Island has mixed feelings about the future. While they see hope, they also need to worry about the cruelty of reality.

On the other hand, in Wano Country, which is the current base camp of all beasts, there is a completely new attitude.

"Extra! Extra! The Red Hair Pirates and the Big Pirates have formed an alliance with Lord Ming Wang! The intruder Garp has been arrested!"

The news from Wano Country is a self-corrected version released by Beasts, with a more favorable description for Beasts. It is also not affected by the navy's smoke bombs, and the citizens at this time actually see a more realistic situation.

"Is it some famous invader? I haven't seen this kind of news in a long time."

"I heard that he was a very famous marine, and was called a hero. It was Lord Kuzan and Lord Quinn who took him down. Lord Ming Wang did nothing at all."

Chapter 1309 Arceus’s “Old Friend”

"Your...old friend?"

The term "old friend" is very common, but it seems very abrupt when applied to Arceus. Although Arceus's history is very long for the Lunarians, considering the actual date of birth...

Arceus is very young, but no one would think from that perspective.

Due to the existence of Arceus, the term "old friend" has basically no connection with him, let alone an old friend from the Red Earth Continent.

Not to mention the ordinary people on the ship, even Shaina couldn't figure out what the purpose of Arceus' trip was.

"Yes, he is an old friend of yours, but you have never met him. Let's go, this is almost here."

The Origin slowly stopped at the side of the towering red earth continent. The crimson rocks that reached into the sky were being washed by the sea water. It was unknown what the specific composition of the rocks was, and hundreds of years of washing had not been able to change the structure here.

To this day, it still divides the four seas like the doldrums on both sides of the Great Route.

For countless years, no one in the world seemed to have thought of opening a new entrance to the Red Earth Continent, and Upside Down Mountain and the Red Harbor of Mary Geoise became the few passages.

The World Government only focused on Red Harbor near Marijoa, allowing pirates to enter the Grand Line from Mount Inverted.

The rest of the red soil continent is an impenetrable natural defense line in the eyes of the World Government. This is true. After all, in the past few decades, only one Tiger has climbed up there with his bare hands against the norm.

But as long as they don't go to Marijoa, the World Government has no mood to care about other locations. They can't set up a defense mode of one guard every three steps and one sentry every five steps around the red earth continent surrounding the planet.

From the time the Origin approached until it came to a stop, there were no living people around, only some broken ship wreckage drifting along with the current.

This is also one of the reasons why pirates don't approach here. If they get close, they can't get through, and if they are not careful, the ship may be destroyed and people may die. The area around the Red Soil Continent is not a straight line.

In addition to the extended rock structures, there are many underwater reefs and the ocean currents are very complex, making the area extremely dangerous.

There are countless underwater undercurrents in the invisible places. Even though the navigator on the Origin is experienced, there were still some minor bumps along the way.
