One Piece:Pirates of Lightning-1

Chapter 452 D's Guess

White Earth Island, Baltigo.

Since the Ohara incident, after a long period of wandering, the Ohara Scholars finally settled down here.

The settled Ohara Scholars once again began their Research on the Poneglyph.

If it were anyone else who had suffered the Threat of the World Government and the Buster Call, they would likely give up. But the Ohara Scholars not only did not lose heart, but instead became even more motivated, because they wanted to re-present the History that had been sealed by the World Government to the World.

Dorag stood in front of the window, looking into the distance.

"Our current Power is still too Weakness. If we want to overthrow the World Government and the Celestial Dragons, we are still somewhat lacking in High-End Combat Power. And without Poseidon, Dark King, or even Uranus appearing, we cannot gain an absolute Advantage in basic Combat Power either..."

"Dorag, Mr. Dorag..."

Robin called out softly from the side, interrupting Dorag's Inner Thoughts.

"Is there Anything the Matter, Robin?"

Dorag looked at Robin beside him, a faint Smile on his Face.

Robin twisted her Finger, and said somewhat shyly, "About getting stronger, I, I want to hear Mr. Dorag's Suggestion..."

"Suggestion about getting stronger?"

Dorag looked at Robin and asked with some doubt, "If I remember correctly, Robin, your Ideal should be to become a great Archaeologist, right?"

"Yes, although I want to become an Archaeologist, I want to protect everyone even more! And in the Process of becoming stronger, I will not give up Research on History either."

Robin looked at Dorag and said firmly. Obviously, the Thing that happened in Ohara had caused some changes in her Inner Thoughts. If she didn't have Strength, even a great Scholar like Doctor Clover, who was learned and rich in knowledge, and the Tree of Knowledge Library, which carried the Heart and Soul of countless People, would seem so powerless in the Face of the Military Force of the World Government.

Dorag looked at Robin.

"Since that's the case, you can put some effort into Fruit Awakening and Armament Haki."

"Armament Haki?"

Robin's eyes lit up when she heard this, and then she began to think.

She was very smart, otherwise she wouldn't have become the youngest Scholar in Ohara's history at such a young age. During the Process of coming to Baltigo, she had already understood that her Ability was the Paramecia Type Hana Hana no Mi. Having a Devil Fruit, she was undoubtedly already further along the path of the Powerful Figure than others.

And Dorag's use of Armament Haki in combination with Devil Fruit Ability gave her a lot of inspiration.

"Keep it up."

Seeing Robin fall into contemplation, Dorag encouraged her with a Smile. Everyone's path to becoming a Powerful Figure is different. All he can do is give a little Suggestion.

"Mr. Dorag, Ms. Olvia and Doctor Clover are asking you to come over."

Just then, a Member of the Revolutionary Army opened the door and came in to report.

"Okay, I'll go over immediately."

When Dorag arrived at the Room that the Revolutionary Army had cleared out for the Ohara Scholars, Olvia and Doctor Clover were standing In front of two Poneglyphs. One of them was transported from Ohara, and the other was discovered unintentionally by the Revolutionary Army.

"Poneglyph..."

Looking at the Two people standing In front of the Poneglyph and the uneasy expressions of the Scholars around them, a flash of conjecture flashed through Dorag's Inner Thoughts like Lightning.

As the Revolutionary Army expanded, the Revolutionary Army also discovered that the various Kingdoms in this World seemed to have inextricable connections with the Void Century History.

Therefore, the high-level members of the entire Revolutionary Army Organization, including Dorag, all Value the Existence of Poneglyphs very much.

What exactly happened in the Void Century? Why were those Celestial Dragons able to establish the World Government? And even rise above all Life? And who exactly is the mysterious Person after those Celestial Dragons?

The Revolutionary Army needs this Truth.

As for the Reason, it's actually very Simple. It's that the World Government that the Revolutionary Army wants to overthrow is for some Reason very Apprehension about that Historical Truth being known to the World.

Based on this point alone, the Revolutionary Army has Reason to pursue the Historical Truth.

After all, for the Revolutionary Army, which does not have an Advantage in High-End Combat Power and basic Combat Power, deciphering the Poneglyph can be regarded as a very important Thing for overthrowing the Rule of the Celestial Dragons and the World Government.

"Doctor Clover."

"Ah, Mr. Dorag has arrived. Olvia, you come and tell Mr. Dorag about the content we deciphered."

Doctor Clover, who was gazing at the Poneglyph, came back to his senses in Dorag's call.

Doctor Clover's Reaction was naturally also within Dorag's expectations.

After all, if there were no major breakthroughs regarding the Poneglyph, Doctor Clover would not have come to find Oneself.

Meeting Dorag's Line of Sight looking over, Olvia quickly walked In front of the Poneglyph, reached out and gently placed her Hand on the surface of the Stone Tablet, her Finger gently sliding over the Ancient Text that had disappeared from the World.

The Ancient Text that could stump almost all Historians and Scholars, after decades of Research, In front of Olvia, was as Simple and easy to understand as common Text.

And Robin, who came with Dorag, looked at the Light in Mama's eyes, and also looked Seriously at the Poneglyph with a Face of seriousness.

"This Poneglyph has given us an important piece of the puzzle regarding the Void Century History. The content on it is a story about 'Resistance'."

Olvia gently touched the Poneglyph with her Finger. She tilted her head slightly, gazing at the Ancient Text above the Stone Tablet, and said in an excited Tone:

"It mentions Information related to the Ancient Kingdom that disappeared 800 years ago, and some Information about the Celestial Dragons..."

Then Olvia began to tell about the Information they had obtained from the Poneglyph.

"According to the Research on the Poneglyph, we discovered that 100 years before the Void Century History, there existed a Giant Ancient Kingdom that had already perished. The prosperity of that Giant Kingdom even far surpassed the current World Government. At that time, whether it was the Four Seas, the first half or the second half of the Grand Line, all were under the Rule of that Kingdom."

"But after that, that Kingdom suddenly disappeared, and Everything about that Kingdom and the Reason for its disappearance are in the Void Century. When the Void Century ended, the World Government was officially established."

"Although there have been many guesses about the World Government's Action to erase the History of a hundred years, there has been no accurate conclusion so far."

"And this Poneglyph... it Records some Information about the demise of the Ancient Kingdom!"

Hearing Olvia's Words, Dorag stroked his Chin and said faintly, "History is written by the victors, but... since the World Government is already the victor, why would they still erase the Void Century History? Could it be that there are still secrets we don't know about?"

Speaking of which, Dorag paused for a moment.

"Besides this Information, is there Anything else?"

"The Poneglyph also mentioned 'D'... and 'D' seems to be related to that Ancient Kingdom."

"Oh? 'D'?"

Dorag looked thoughtful, because only he knew that the name of the Monkey Family contained 'D', and the name of the Pirate King Roger also contained 'D'. Even the World Government, in order not to expose Roger's True Name, used Gol D. Roger on the Wanted Poster.

This cannot help but make People think.

"So what are your views on 'D'?"

Dorag looked at Olvia and Doctor Clover.

"Regarding 'D', apart from knowing that it may be closely related to the Giant Kingdom and the Celestial Dragons, we don't have much other Information left for us to analyze, but..."

Light flashed across Doctor Clover's Glasses: "Regarding 'D', I have a bold Guess, and that is that 'D' might be the 'Celestial Dragons' of this World a hundred years before the Void Century!!!"

(End of Chapter)

Chapter 453: Gradually Dissipating Vivre Card

Hearing Doctor Clover's wild guess, the huge Room fell silent for a moment. Olvia and a group of Scholars all looked at Doctor Clover in surprise. Doctor Clover's guess was clearly too shocking.

"But Doctor Clover, how is that possible?"

One of the Ohara Scholars couldn't help but retort. After all, if 'D' were Celestial Dragons from before the Void Century, then undoubtedly, as the Celestial Dragons who overthrew the Ancient Kingdom, they would be the heroes of this World. But why would they spend so much effort to bury the Historical Truth?

"That's right, how could those cruel and selfish Celestial Dragons possibly do such a thing?"

Clearly, if Doctor Clover's guess were true, then they could not, under any circumstances, associate the Celestial Dragons with the rebels who overthrew the Ancient Kingdom.

"Actually, I also find this speculation a bit unbelievable, but a sentence Captain Nicholas once said did enlighten me. That is, 'The only lesson humans learn from History is that humans cannot learn any lessons from History.' Dragon Slayers will eventually become Evil Dragons. The current Celestial Dragons are so tyrannical and selfish, but what about the ancestors of the Celestial Dragons eight hundred years ago, or even one hundred years before the Void Century? We didn't live in the same Era as them, so naturally, we don't know what they were like back then. Perhaps they were trying to liberate the Sea at first, but after long Years, the Dragon Slayer eventually became the new Evil Dragon. Perhaps human History is a Circle, and humans can never get out of this Circle..." Doctor Clover's Tone was somewhat lonely.

And the emotions of the others were also somewhat low.

...

Night deepened. Dorag stood in front of the Balcony railing of the Room, looking up at the brilliant Stars in the Night Sky. Only at Night would he let the Sandstorm that enveloped the entire Baltigo subside for a while.

"Dragon Slayers will eventually become Evil Dragons?" Dorag murmured, repeating this sentence. In his contemplation, he took out a piece of paper from his chest.

In his Palm was a piece of paper only the size of a fingernail, and the already small piece was slowly being eroded at the edges by Lightning. Based on the piece of paper within, which was faintly moving towards a certain direction, one could barely make out that it was a Vivre Card.

"Nicholas, what exactly happened to you? Why is your Vivre Card showing this situation?" Dorag's Tone was clearly full of worry. It could be said that for him, Nicholas was a Friend who was both a teacher and a friend. Although he didn't know what Nicholas wanted to do. But his instinct told him that Nicholas was standing with their Revolutionary Army, and even the current Guiding Principle of the Revolutionary Army was largely perfected based on the Guiding Principle proposed by Nicholas.

Although he was very worried about Nicholas's safety, he couldn't leave casually. After all, CP0 under the World Government were hunting them all over the World like Hyenas. If he wasn't there and Baltigo was attacked, then the Revolutionary Army's efforts over so many Years would be wasted.

...

"Still alive, that's the only thing we can currently confirm." Simon said in a deep voice, "But judging from the Reaction of the Vivre Card, Nicholas's situation is not good, and according to the Reaction of the Vivre Card, Nicholas seems to be very far away from us..."

"In other words, Captain Nicholas is likely encountering some very dangerous Situation, even to the point where he doesn't have Time to notify us with a Den Den Mushi?" Brook said with a serious Complexion, looking at the Lightning that was constantly eating away at the Vivre Card.

"Vistad, prepare to set sail, we're going to find Nicholas." Bell-lin made a decisive decision. For her, the Abnormality of the Vivre Card in front of her eyes was not the first time it had happened, but the last time was far less serious than this time.

"No problem." Vistad, knowing the urgency of the Thing, also directly said. Then, everyone immediately headed straight for the Sea King Authority Ship.

Soon, under the curious Gaze of many people in Wano Country, the Sea King Authority Ship directly ascended into the Sky and then sped directly south.

...

Fish-Man Island is located directly below Holy Land Mary Geoise on the Red Line. As one of the few ways to enter the New World besides Holy Land Mary Geoise, Fish-Man Island's geographical Position is very special, coupled with Racial Prejudice and the high Value of Mermaid Girls in the Human World, as well as a lack of Military Force.

Therefore, since the Pirate Era began, Fish-Man Island has suffered countless Pirate Attacks. A large number of Mermaids were sold as Toys, and a large number of Fishmen were captured as Slaves... But now this Situation has completely disappeared.

With the rapid growth of the Dragon Palace City Guard's Strength, Fish-Man Island has become a Forbidden Zone for Slave Hunting Teams. Even Pirates who want to pass through Fish-Man Island are well-behaved and dare not do anything out of line.

And King Neptune, as the King of Fish-Man Island, looking at the current Situation of Fish-Man Island, was also quite satisfied. At least a hundred Years later, his Reputation in Fish-Man Island will not be that of an incompetent King, and he may even be the King who leads Fish-Man Island back to the Sea Surface!

At the same time, he was also very clear. The Situation of Fish-Man Island could be improved, but it didn't have much to do with him. Even if Nicholas hadn't appeared, Fish-Man Island would have completely become an object of Enslavement sooner or later.

Although he also knew that Nicholas had his Scheme in helping Fish-Man Island, compared to those guys who wanted to completely enslave Fish-Man Island, Nicholas had already done very well. At least he truly made it so that no Slave Trader dared to openly sell Mermaids. Of course, the reason why it couldn't be completely eradicated was because when the Profit exceeded three hundred percent, those Slave Traders no longer cared about their Lives.

Suddenly, from outside the Gate of the Palace Hall, came the Right Minister's terrified Sound. "Y-Your Majesty Neptune... Something Major event is bad...!?"

"Hmm?" Hearing the Right Minister's terrified Sound, King Neptune's Expression involuntarily tightened, and he subconsciously looked towards the direction of the Gate of the Great Hall.

Just as he turned his Line of Sight towards the Gate of the Great Hall, he saw the Right Minister staggeringly push open the Gate of the Great Hall and run in in a panic. Looking at the Manner of the Right Minister, King Neptune realized something was wrong, suddenly stood up, and looked at the Right Minister with a solemn Gaze.

"Right Minister, what happened?" "Your Majesty Neptune... N-Nicholas's Vivre Card has gone wrong!"

"What!? What exactly happened!?" Hearing the News from the Right Minister, King Neptune's Complexion suddenly became a bit unsightly. He knew that in the Plan for Fish-Man Island to return to the Sea Surface, Nicholas was an indispensable Part. If Nicholas had a Problem, with the current Situation of Fish-Man Island, although they could protect themselves, wanting to return to the Sea Surface would undoubtedly be a slim Hope.

Soon, Jinbe and Tiger, summoned by King Neptune, arrived in the Great Hall. When Tiger and Jinbe arrived, they saw the Vivre Card that was being constantly eroded by Lightning, and King Neptune with a Frown.

(End of Chapter)

Chapter 454 History's Footsteps

"Your Majesty Neptune, what happened? And what is this?"

Fisher Tiger looked at Neptune, who had a serious face, and asked.

"This is the Vivre Card Nicholas left at Fish-Man Island, but I don't know why it suddenly produced this strange change."

Neptune also said with some confusion.

"According to the characteristics of Vivre Card, if the Vivre Card has a problem, doesn't that mean Nicholas has a problem?"

Jinbe said with a serious expression.

As a Vivre Card made through a special process, it can be used to locate the owner of the Vivre Card and display the situation of the Vivre Card host through its state.

"Something might have happened to Nicholas, but it is currently impossible to determine what exactly the problem is. After all, with Nicholas's strength, it is hard to imagine who in this World could pose a Threat to him."

Neptune was also not sure whether something had happened to Nicholas, or whether this was a special phenomenon of Vivre Card. After all, Vivre Card is just an artificial Creation, and Accidents are normal.

"Your Majesty Neptune, have you contacted Nicholas and the others in the Nicholas Pirates?"

Tiger asked calmly.

"I have tried to contact Nicholas, but there has been no response. As for contacting the others in the Nicholas Pirates, the reply I received was that they also do not know the specific Situation for the Time being. They are now relying on the guidance of the Vivre Card to find Nicholas."

Hearing Neptune's Words, Jinbe and Tiger exchanged a glance, both understanding that the Problem might really be big.

"Your Majesty Neptune, strengthen the Defense of Dragon Palace City. Also, Jinbe, you lead the Sea God Army to further strengthen the Defense of the Fish-Man Island's outer perimeter. From now on, any Pirate entering Fish-Man Island with a Bounty of over 100 million Beli must not stay for more than one day! No two Pirates with a Bounty of over 100 million Beli can appear in Fish-Man Island at the same Time."

After thinking for a while, the Broken Arm Tiger opened his mouth and said to Jinbe.

And regarding Tiger's Suggestion, Neptune and Jinbe did not have any extra Opinions. After all, they also knew that Fish-Man Island's current Foundation was still too shallow. In the Sea outside Fish-Man Island, there are potent drugs and tamed Sea Beast, so Pirates cannot cause any big Wave.

However, once those guys want to cause Trouble on Fish-Man Island, it will be somewhat difficult to Suppression them in a short Time.

...

"Is that Captain!?"

Several days later, standing on the Deck of the Sea King Authority Ship, looking at the huge Thunder God ravaging in the Thunderstorm Center on the Antarctic Continent, Simon asked in disbelief.

"According to the display of the Vivre Card, that is indeed Nicholas."

Bell-lin looked at the Vivre Card in her Hand that wanted to fly away, took a deep breath, and said.

"What exactly happened? Why did Captain appear here, and why did he become like that? Can Captain still return to his original Manner?"

Katie's Hand was placed on the Sword Hilt at her Waist, looking at the giant Thunder God with a worried Face.

"Vistad, don't go forward anymore, you will die."

Bell-lin opened her mouth to stop Vistad who still wanted to go forward.

Hearing Bell-lin's Words, Vistad stopped his Footsteps, let out a long breath, and then looked towards that incomparably huge Thunder God.

Nicholas was currently trapped in a Chaos. Time, Space, at this moment, all became blurred.

Nicholas was in it. Although he could clearly Feel that his Emotion as a Person was gradually losing, his Mood was very Calm. Being alone in Chaos, he could also get closer to his own heart.

The feeling of assimilation from the surroundings made people want to sleep, and as they gradually closed their Eyes, all perception would also rapidly dissipate, and eventually the whole Person would throw themselves into the embrace of the World.

Assimilation, this is the Awakening of the Logia Type! The number of people who can reach this step is very few, and the number of people who can pass this level is even fewer.

Although he was in Chaos, Nicholas could still vaguely perceive the outside World.

That Feeling was like you closing your Eyes, but you could clearly Feel the Existence of other People Side.

A faint connection, through the medium of the mind, constantly transmitted in from the outside World, allowing Nicholas to maintain a trace of clarity.

"Is this Feeling you? Bell-lin."

Nicholas murmured.

Not knowing how much Time had passed, Nicholas's Consciousness gradually became blurred, and at the same Time, an Eerie Sword also appeared in his Hand.

In Chaos, there was only one Person, one Sword, and endless Chaos left.

Sabaody Archipelago, Beddyk was currently pacing back and forth in his Office.

"What exactly happened? Why would Lord Bell-lin suddenly ask me to be subordinate to Heavenly Yaksha Doflamingo?"

Obviously, Beddyk, who received Bell-lin's Order, was quite confused, not understanding why Bell-lin would suddenly ask him to be subordinate to Doflamingo.

However, before he could think too much, the door of the Office was pushed open. A Man wearing a Pink Feather Cloak, Tight Pants, Loafers, Sunglasses, and Bandage all over his Whole Body, walked in arrogantly.

Seeing the person who came, Beddyk could not help but shrink his Pupil.

The person who came was none other than the recently famous Doflamingo.

"Beddyk, long time no see?"

Doflamingo directly sat on the desk in the Office and spoke first, his Tone full of malice.

"Doflamingo, are you here to complete the takeover?"

Beddyk looked at Doflamingo sitting on the Office desk, a trace of displeasure flashed across his Face.

After all, no matter what, he was also a Big Shot, and his Backstage was also quite powerful.

"Fufufufu, that's right, from now on everyone is Partners, let's work together to make it bigger and stronger."

Doflamingo let out Laughter. Obviously, being able to merge Beddyk's Business was undoubtedly a huge step forward for his Development.

Time slowly passed, and Nicholas's sudden disappearance did not seem to affect the Development of the World Situation.

The Seven Warlords of the Sea were also filled. Gekko Moria, Edward Weevil, the Second Golden Lion, and Gild Tesoro, the Golden Emperor, were selected to become the new Seven Warlords of the Sea.

At the same Time, Pirate King Roger completely disappeared from everyone's sight, and along with him disappeared the Pirate King's Crew members.

No one can stop the footsteps of History from advancing. It still moves forward step by step.

In the New World, the division of Various forces became clearer and clearer. The Reputation of the three top Emperors gradually Resounded throughout the entire New World. Their Bounty made everyone feel shocked and deeply fearful.

Among them, Whitebeard, as the World's Strongest Man, had a Bounty of 5 billion Beli.

Kaido was 4.6 billion Beli, and Big Mom was 4.3 billion Beli.

The Bounty of each of them was far higher than other Pirates, surpassing all Pirates. They were entrenched in the New World, and their Strength was also extremely powerful. Each of them occupied a huge Territory in the New World.

In this Era, their Reputation Resounded throughout the World. No other Pirates could be compared with them. Even the Marines and the World Government chose to abandon the New World.

"Wuwuwuwuwu, Nicholas, why did you suddenly disappear? How can I live without you, old man?"

"Gurararara, Roger, did you and Nicholas encounter something when you both disappeared at the same Time?"

"Older Brother Katakuri, Mama's Food Craving Sickness seems to have relapsed again. Quickly find a way to subdue her!"

(End of Chapter)

Chapter 455 New Generation

Time gradually passed, and people who sought the One Piece and aimed to achieve great feats on the Sea flocked to the Grand Line one after another. The World gradually presented a new situation.

And the name of the former Thunder God Nicholas slowly disappeared from public view as time passed.

In a World where the Situation was changing rapidly, and among the endless stream of potential newcomers, he gradually faded from people's sight and was forgotten by the World.

Only some Acquaintances would occasionally mention his name, with nostalgia, regret, or even gritted teeth.

Gradually, Time arrived at One Piece Calendar 1517.

East Blue, Windmill Village.

"Ace! Are you leaving today?" Luffy, still somewhat naive at this time, asked loudly, his eyes full of reluctance.

"Hahahaha, Luffy, Sabo, according to our Agreement, starting today, I will begin my Pirate journey!" "Pirate King, it's mine!" Portgas Ace said, laughing loudly.

"Don't worry, Luffy and I will catch up to you soon! Don't wait until we set sail and you still haven't Become famous, Ace!" Sabo, wearing a Top Hat and dressed in blue Noble clothes, also said loudly.

The inertia of History is powerful. Fate in the darkness brought the three Brothers together again. The only difference might be that the appearance of Nicholas, an anomaly outside of Fate, changed some people's Fate.

"Damn it, I'll set sail soon too. Pirate King, I'm going to be it!" Luffy shouted through gritted teeth.

"Alright, Sabo, let's set off quickly. If Aunt Rouge finds out, you can forget about setting sail." Sabo said loudly with a smile, clearly happy for his Brother Ace's departure today from the bottom of his heart.

Ace laughed loudly. He rode a Small Boat, slowly leaving the Coast, gradually disappearing from Luffy and Sabo's Eyes.

What Ace didn't know was that on the Coast not far from Windmill Town Port, Rouge was silently watching him, her Eyes full of reluctance.

"The Grand Line is vast and boundless, but I will definitely achieve my Target!" "Are you still alive? In some Corner of the World? I will definitely find you, punch you hard with my Fist, and then ask you why you haven't come to see Mama once in so many years!" Ace looked at the magnificent Grand Line, his Eyes firm, and said secretly in his Inner Thoughts.

For so many years, there had been no News of that Man in the World, as if he had completely disappeared and left this World.

The Pirate King, who once roamed the Grand Line and was the most free Pirate on the Grand Line, couldn't even see his wife and children once. How ironic was that?

Thinking of his Mama's Manner every time she talked about his father, Ace felt a surge of jealousy in his Inner Thoughts. He really wanted to ask his Mama what was so good about that Man who abandoned them, mother and son.

But every time he saw the beautiful Smile on his Mama's Face, Ace suppressed all the Words in his heart.

Fate seemed to have arranged Everything. Ace finally set sail. He ate the Flame-Flame Fruit, formed his own Pirate Crew, and had his own Partner.

Relying on the Power of the Logia-type Devil Fruit, within just a few months, Ace had made a Reputation that Resounded throughout the Grand Line, and even gained the Nickname Fire Fist Ace.

Marine Headquarters, Marineford.

"Hey, hey, hey, hey! Garp, this guy named Ace, he's one of your two grandsons, right?" Sengoku slammed a Wanted Poster directly onto the table in front of Garp, loudly questioning Garp, who was sitting there drinking tea and eating Doughnuts.

The latter had no expression on his Face. After biting off a piece of Doughnut, he glanced at Ace's bright Smile on the Wanted Poster and sighed, "He's my grandson. What about it?"

"Then why did he become a Pirate? This guy is Logia Type, Logia Type! Do you know how dangerous this guy is!?" Sengoku continued to say loudly.

You should know that Logia-type Devil Fruit are quite rare on the Grand Line. Logia-type Devil Fruit, representing a Natural Element, can almost guarantee that as long as the user isn't useless, they can make a great name for themselves on the Grand Line.

Just like the current Navy Admirals, all of them are Logia-type Devil Fruit User.

No one knows what kind of Power a Logia-type Devil Fruit User, especially one whose attribute is opposite to Admiral Aokiji, can unleash.

"Sigh, Sengoku! Now that you're Fleet Admiral, be more composed. I know you want to make Pirates on the Grand Line disappear completely, but you also know that even if Pirates disappear, with the help of the World Government and Celestial Dragons, there will still be many people setting sail endlessly.

Thinking of the Celestial Dragon incident that Wisteria Tiger reported a few days ago, this old Man misses that Nicholas guy a bit.

After all, when that guy was still around, those Celestial Dragons didn't even dare to come out of Mary Geoise." Garp said with some nostalgia. It could be said that Nicholas's Existence caused the malicious incidents related to Celestial Dragons at that time to decline rapidly, and even the Navy's Reputation increased a bit.

Sengoku was stunned for a moment, and then slowly sat down. Mentioning Nicholas, both of them didn't know what to say for a moment.

"That guy... sigh, I just didn't expect the guys behind the Celestial Dragons to be so ruthless, actually leaving Mary Geoise directly to attack Nicholas." Sengoku suddenly said. As Time passed, he also had some guesses about Nicholas's sudden disappearance.

"If I didn't have too many concerns, I would really like to see how Strong that guy really is!" Garp looked in the direction of Holy Land Mary Geoise and said Seriously.

"Garp!" Hearing Garp's Words, Sengoku shouted sternly, "Don't talk nonsense. You need to understand that if the Navy is Severely Wounded, then who will protect those Commoner? Do you expect those Pirates to be merciful!?"

Hearing Sengoku's Words, Garp also clenched his Fist. To be honest, this Situation was really frustrating.

Seeming to sense Garp's Mood, Sengoku slowly opened his mouth and said, "Actually, regarding Nicholas's Situation, I communicated with Roger privately. That guy is not so easy to die. Moreover, after Nicholas disappeared, the other Members of the Nicholas Pirates, who should have been in Wano Country, also left Wano Country.

If Nicholas is really dead, then those guys will definitely launch Retaliation against this World."

"Hope so. After all, relying on our Strength alone, we can't fight against those guys." Garp sighed and said helplessly.

"So, what do we do now? Garp? He's your grandson," Sengoku asked.

Garp shook his head. "I don't know either. You handle this matter. Since Ace has chosen his path, then he should make a Resolve for it."

"His Strength is very powerful, and he also has Flame, which is a relatively aggressive Logia type. He's currently just a new Pirate, but he already has a Bounty of 100 million. And based on his behavior since setting sail for so long, can we invite him to join the Royal Shichibukai?" Sengoku pondered for a moment and offered a Suggestion.

After all, although the Royal Seven Warlords of the Sea are Pirates, they at least have a Plundering License issued by the World Government. And the most important thing is the cooperative relationship between the Royal Seven Warlords of the Sea and the Navy and the World Government.

"Let Wisteria Tiger go and try. The others probably aren't his Opponent." Garp nodded in agreement, saying. He was very clear about Ace's Personality.

"Okay, then I'll arrange for Wisteria Tiger to go there later," Sengoku nodded.

This was a friendly Reaction to Ace, and also considering Garp's Favor.

Relatively speaking, with Garp's relationship, once Ace chooses to join the Royal Shichibukai, then there is no doubt that he will be more trustworthy than other guys.

Grand Line, Water Seven.

"Ace, we're about to enter the New World soon. That place is Hell for the Weakest and Paradise for the Strongest. Are you Nervous?" Masked Deuce, the vice-Captain, looked at Ace and asked with a chuckle.

"Deuce, why would I be Nervous? I'm excited! I'm really looking forward to what interesting Things we'll encounter in that Sea of Powerful Figure next! And what kind of interesting Opponent we'll meet!" Ace said, laughing loudly.

"Haha, then I'll record all of this. In the future, when we get old, we'll use it as our most beautiful Memory." Deuce also said with a Smile, clearly enjoying Navigation with Ace and his Partners.

(End of Chapter)

Chapter 456: As Pirates, We Should Help Each Other

In Water Seven, Ace and his crew temporarily stopped here. Their Ship needed Supplies, Repair, and Upgrade.

After all, it wasn't far from entering the New World, and it was well known how harsh the Sea Area of the New World was. Without a reliable Ship, rashly entering the New World would undoubtedly be Suicide.

A day later, Deuce, who was responsible for contacting the Shipyard of Water Seven, urgently found Ace.

"Ace, I got incredible News! There is a very famous Shipwright here. Even Pirate King Roger's Oro Jackson and Thunder God Nicholas's Sea King Authority Ship were built by this Shipwright single-handedly. Besides these two famous Ships, there are many other renowned Ships, all from the hands of this Shipwright Master!"

Deuce said with an excited Face, obviously he also knew how much help it would be for their next Navigation if they could invite this Master to Upgrade the Spade Pirates' Ship.

Ace was shocked when he heard this, and quickly swallowed the Water Water Meat in his Hand in one gulp, then eagerly said, "Who is it? Where is he?"

Hearing Ace's question, Deuce's Look also became a little dim: "That Shipwright seems to no longer be building Ships now. I heard that his entire Energy is currently focused on the construction of the Sea Train."

"And if you want this Shipwright to take action, good Shipbuilding Material is essential, and a lot of Funds are also needed. But I heard that he has two Disciples, can we ask them for Help?"

"Disciples? Who are they?"

Although it was a Regret that they couldn't invite this famous Shipwright himself, it would be quite good to be able to invite his Disciples.

"One is Iceberg, the Mayor of Water Seven. There is another Disciple, but that Disciple seems very mysterious, and even in Water Seven, very few People know about him."

Deuce said quickly.

"Iceberg, Iceberg?"

Ace fell into deep thought, thinking of the name he had heard since arriving at Water Seven, and couldn't help but mutter to Oneself.

Then, without hesitation, he immediately set off with Deuce to the Mayor's Office.

Half an hour later, in the Mayor's Office, Iceberg parted the Staff who were standing at the Office door and dared not enter, and walked into the Office.

And beside him was a Secretary wearing Glasses and a tight-fitting suit, black stockings on her legs, and small high heels on her Foot.

"Sir, you suddenly barged into my Office, is there Anything you want to say to me?"

Iceberg looked at Ace and Deuce beside him, who were casually sitting on the Sofa in the Office, with a very calm expression, and calmly asked.

After all, as a well-known Shipbuilding Factory on the Grand Line, during his tenure as Mayor of Water Seven, Iceberg had seen too many People and Things.

"Mr. Iceberg, don't be Nervous. I'm here just to ask you for a Thing."

"Ask me for a Thing?"

Iceberg heard this and turned his Gaze to Ace.

Regarding the young Man in front of him, Iceberg had already obtained Intelligence from the Secretary. A Pirate who set off from East Blue, after entering the Grand Line from Reverse Mountain, relied on his own Strength and the Terror Power of the Flame-Flame Fruit to advance all the way like a hot knife through butter.

He had even firmly secured the Position of Supernova this year, and can be said to be a super Potential newcomer.

"Tell me, if I can Help, I will try my best to Help."

"Can you Help me contact that Shipwright who built Ships for Roger?"

Ace asked directly.

And Iceberg was slightly stunned when he heard Ace's Words, and the Secretary beside him also had a change in expression when she heard the name Roger, but she quickly returned to Normal.

"...Kalifa, go out and let everyone leave, and close the door by the way."

After a brief Silence, Iceberg suddenly spoke. Hearing her name, the Secretary was slightly stunned.

But she still nodded, then swayed her Waist and walked out of the Office, and dispersed the People in front of the Office door.

"Are you talking about Pirate King Roger?"

"Yes, that Roger!"

Ace said excitedly.

It can be said that coming all the way from Loguetown, this is the second Person and Place he has come into contact with who once had a close relationship with Roger.

"Roger..."

Recalling the Man in his Memory, Iceberg couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

"I know him, but shouldn't you be more concerned about that Shipwright Master who helped Roger build Ships?"

Iceberg asked somewhat curiously.

"Although I am equally curious about that Shipwright Master, I am more Hopeful to hear about Things related to Roger."

Ace said Seriously.

"Hey, Ace..."

Deuce beside him heard Ace's Words, and couldn't help but tug at him. You know, they came to Iceberg mainly for Ship building, not to listen to Roger's little stories.

"I don't know much about his Things, just that he came to Water Seven here back then, and because of Teacher Tom, he had met him a few times."

"Then, in Mr. Iceberg's opinion, what kind of Person is he?"

"Don't know."

"Don't know?"

Ace was a little stunned when he heard this.

After all, he had anticipated many Reputations of Roger from Iceberg, but he had never thought that Iceberg would say "Don't know."

"Yeah, indeed, I don't know. After all, we only spent a short Time together, and even the communication between us added up to no more than ten Words. Is it a bit Outrageous to expect to understand a Person from these Things?"

Iceberg said lightly.

"By the way, may I be so bold as to ask, why are you so concerned about Roger's Reputation?"

Iceberg asked somewhat curiously.

"I just want to know what the famous Pirate King is like in other People's eyes. Some say he is the most Freedom Person on the Sea, some say he is the richest Person on the Sea, some say that he who possesses One Piece even has the Power to control the World... but I want to know what the most real him is like."

Ace said Seriously.

"So, can I ask you to Help me introduce me to that Master Tom?"

Iceberg was silent when he heard this, and then said helplessly, "Regretfully, Master Tom currently almost never sees anyone."

Ace was a little disappointed: "Is there really no way at all??"

Seeing the disappointed Look on the other's Face, and the Potential shown by the other party, Iceberg made a Determination: "I can try to ask Master Tom, but whether it will be successful or not, I don't know."

"Then please."

Ace also said sincerely.

After being at Sea for so long, finally having the Opportunity to know what the real Roger is like made him very happy.

Then, Ace bid farewell and left.

"So, News about Roger is more important than us getting a super awesome Ship! Ace, do you know that we are going to the New World?!"

Deuce was a little frantic.

"Don't worry, Deuce. We will have a Ship, and it will be a super awesome Ship. After all, you have also seen how great the Shipbuilding Technology of Water Seven is, haven't you? As long as we spend Money, we will definitely get a super awesome Ship!"

Ace put his arm around Deuce's Shoulder and said with a smile.

"But do we have Money?"

Deuce asked.

As Deuce spoke, the Atmosphere suddenly became a bit awkward. Although they had been at Sea for a while, the Funds in their hands were not enough to support them in getting a super awesome Ship in Water Seven.

Ace grinned, then pointed to a group of Pirate-dressed People: "It's simple, Deuce, have you forgotten what we are? Pirates! As Pirates, isn't it Normal for us to Help each other! And I believe they are also very happy to Help us."

Hearing Ace's Words, Deuce couldn't help but be stunned, then gave a thumbs up and laughed loudly: "Captain, you are so shameless! But I like it!"
