I quit the Straw Hats at the beginning and joined the Beasts Group

Luo, Luchi, Kaku, Hollen, Wappa and others.

Everyone couldn't help but widen their eyes, thinking they had heard it wrong.

The Joker? Bucky, it’s not like they haven’t seen him before.

He is just a complete waste with no strength.

At most, he has a superhuman-type fruit that is not afraid of being cut? The Splitting Fruit is all that matters.

However, Ryan told them that the other party could become the Pirate Emperor in the future.

That kind of trash?

Does he fit too?

"The wave of a new era is about to arrive..."

No direct explanation is intended.

Under the confused gaze of others.

Ryan stood up and said with a smile: "Let's go meet the future Pirate Emperor, the Joker Emperor!"

He was clear about it from the beginning.

This public execution appeared to be caused by Marshall D. "Blackbeard" Teach.

But in fact, the real driving force behind the scenes.

Ultimately, it is the Navy Headquarters, which is the undisputed overlord of the sea, with its huge power and profound background, or the World Government behind it!

About twenty-two years ago.

The Pirate King Gol D. Roger was publicly executed before his death.

That provocative declaration about the legendary ONE PIECE marked the beginning of the Great Pirate Era.

The number of pirates around the world is increasing exponentially and rapidly.

And it is under the banner of freedom, adventure, dreams and the like.

They caused chaos, burning, killing and looting everywhere.

This caused unprecedented turmoil in the ocean.

Over the years, in order to suppress the growing number of pirate forces that have been causing chaos everywhere.

The navy, which is short of manpower, is extremely busy and overwhelmed.

In order to mobilize as many troops as possible to maintain the stability of the four seas and the first half of the Grand Line, in addition to retaining a limited number of naval bases, the country almost gave up its control over the waters of the New World.

There is no time to take care of the second half of the Grand Line, this new world with unpredictable climate, harsh environment and sparse population.

They could only sit back and watch as the ambitious pirates in the New World, who were determined to establish their own kingdoms, grew in power like a snowball.

Even the World Government had to introduce the policy of "Seven Warlords of the Sea" to recruit and win over those "silver medal players" who were strong and had a certain influence in this ocean.

They will be allowed to work for the World Government on the condition that the Navy no longer issues warrants for their arrest and even condones their legal looting.

In order to balance the situation in the Grand Line, a pattern of mutual checks and balances is formed among the three major forces of the Marine Headquarters, the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and the Four Emperors of the New World.

But as time goes by.

The navy, which had been so busy over the years, had gradually recovered and was now at its peak since the Great Pirate Era, having accumulated enough strength.

Sooner or later, we will start turning our guns around.

He carved out a territory in the New World and ruled over the sea like an emperor, his power growing stronger and stronger.

The pirate emperors have become a subtle threat to the rule of the World Government and are gradually becoming too powerful to be eliminated.

Among the "Four Emperors" of the New World.

He was once hailed as "the strongest man in the world", "the legendary pirate", "the king of the sea", "the uncrowned king"...

Edward "Whitebeard" Newgate, the great pirate with a series of famous titles, is the oldest.

In recent years, there have been rumors that due to constant fighting and quarreling with others, the hidden illnesses accumulated over the years have flared up, and his health has deteriorated and is no longer as good as before.

Even on weekdays, I have to hang medicine to maintain it.

Shoot the first bird.

Pick out the soft persimmons and pinch them.

In this case, in order to serve as a warning to others.

Known as the uncrowned king of the sea, the Whitebeard Pirates, who command a huge pirate force, naturally became the primary target of the World Government and the Navy Headquarters.

Even if "Fire Fist" Ace was not captured by Blackbeard and handed over to the World Government.

According to Ryan's speculation, the Navy Headquarters will most likely also take action against the Whitebeard Pirates.

Even Whitebeard values ​​his family, has always been extremely domineering, and will never forgive anyone who attempts to harm his companions.

If the Marine Headquarters decides to go to war with the Whitebeard Pirates.

It is highly likely that similar methods will be used.

Lead the Whitebeard Pirates to the Marine Headquarters, Marinford.

After all, the Crescent Bay in Marinford is filled with extremely thick and indestructible surrounding walls that cannot be easily destroyed even by the superhuman power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit.

It can't be created in a day or two.

……

now--

Located in the first half of the Grand Line, in unknown waters.

Originally surrounded by the Demon Slayer Fleet in the Water City, they broke through the navy's blockade.

After escaping to the food city near the route, Franky, the new shipbuilder of the Straw Hat Pirates, paid a large sum of money to buy the materials of Baoshu Adam.

Because they were constantly being chased by the navy, a lot of time was wasted, and Franky was the only one who knew how to build a ship.

It wasn't until yesterday that the Straw Hat Pirates' new ship was finally completed.

The group was full of enthusiasm and prepared to head to the Water City.

Say goodbye to their companion, the Golden Merry.

Then continue your adventure.

"｀々This is――"

Usopp, who was standing on the observation platform and was responsible for patrolling the sea conditions, had just bought a newspaper.

After taking a quick glance, his pupils suddenly widened.

The whole person ran down from the observation platform in a hurry.

He was waving a newspaper and yelling at Luffy, Nami, and the others: "Everyone, something terrible has happened!"

"Luffy, your brother Ace was captured by the navy..."

After Luffy, Nami, Chopper and the others looked over, Usopp said with sweat on his forehead: "We are also planning to publicly execute him at the Marine Headquarters in half a month!"

"what?"

"Luffy's brother Ace was captured?"

"Isn't he very powerful? How could it be..."

Hear the words.

Everyone in the Straw Hat Pirates.

They were all horrified.

Some couldn't believe it.

"It's true. Look, it's all in the newspaper..."

Usopp spread out the newspaper and gestured to everyone there.

Above, (okay, okay) there is a picture of Ace the Fire Fist being arrested, with his hands and feet tied with chains.

"Ace――"

Luffy's whole body trembled and his expression changed drastically.

He stepped forward and snatched the newspaper, staring at it in disbelief. It showed the image of Fire Fist Ace being taken prisoner.

Cold sweat broke out immediately.

"How could this happen?" He held his head, a little panicked.

"I don't know what exactly happened, but if the location is at the Marine Headquarters, it would be impossible to save people..." Sanji threw away the cigarette butt, took a deep breath, and said there.

"Sanji—"

Luffy rushed forward directly.

He held Sanji tightly with both hands, his whole body trembling, and he said loudly with great excitement: "Ace... Ace, he is my only brother!"

"No matter what, I'm going to save him!! Pregnant!"

"Luffy……"

Everyone in the Straw Hat Pirates present.

Looking at Luffy, who was full of excitement and determination, I couldn't help but tremble all over.

"I know..." Sanji took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "But we must take a long-term view!"

Of course he knew Luffy's character very well.

It never occurred to me to watch Luffy's brother die without saving him.

.......

Chapter 174: The Terrifying Buggy, the Cross Guild [Update 1]

"I'm willing to cooperate!"

"Please... let me out!"

5.5 floors deep.

There are dark cells one after another.

These Raynes were moved directly from the fifth layer of the extremely cold hell through the power of the earth.

now--

A red-nosed figure was there, grabbing the cell door and shouting.

"stop fighting……"

In the cell next to it.

A tall figure, his hands and feet tightly bound by chains, was lying there in a spread-eagle position. He said coldly, "Bucky the Clown, those guys won't let you go!"

"Yes, Director, you are right. Otherwise, why would these guys bring you here on purpose instead of just releasing you?" In another cell.

A figure in a suit, bound by chains, was also there, speaking loudly.

"Damn Magellan, bastard Hannibal..." Buggy the Clown immediately cursed, "You two are such losers! The Director and Deputy Director of Impel Down were captured so easily that even their souls were replaced!"

"You guys want to die, but I don't!"

"Those guys are so despicable..."

"Damn pirates, they actually used such despicable means!"

Hearing the taunt of Buggy the Clown.

"Magellan" and "Hannibal" were so angry that they gnashed their teeth.

If the enemy had not been so despicable and they had not been careless, how could they have been replaced so easily and have taken control of this deep-sea prison?

at this time.

Several figures walked in slowly.

"Joker? Buggy..." Ryan looked at Buggy the Clown and chuckled, "Looks like you've already made your choice!"
