I'm a big pirate, and you said I just went out to sea?

Chapter 200 Going to the meeting alone
Joining the White Wolf Pirates was a decision Tsuru made after careful consideration.

It's not because Monger did a particularly good job.

Rather, it was because the World Government's actions, compared to Monger's, utterly disappointed her.

If the political and economic system that Monger is now building is just a rudimentary little boat, then the world government is a rotten, large ship.

The small boat can be repaired at will.

However, the ship had already reached the point where even the keel was hollowed out by insects.

Reform or overthrow?

Tsuru couldn't make a decision because she didn't know if the power Monger established after overthrowing the current World Government would become the next World Government.

But later, He realized that at least Munger's desire for everyone to be free and for everyone to have a better life was genuine.

The eleven-nation alliance is doing well after withdrawing from the government of its member states.

It will only get better with time.

Because of Monger's dominance over the entire New World, more than half of the pirates have been recruited by him. Apart from those who have joined the World Government, the remaining pirates dare not provoke the countries protected by Monger.

Not to mention the existence of the new navy.

As long as Munger doesn't change, then no matter what happens in the future, Munger has enough ability and strength to correct it.

Human life is very short.

But a piece of pure gold, like Monge, can exist for a very, very long time.

the most important is.

Monger was not greedy for power, and even disliked working overtime.

My only quirk.

He was probably just having fun with the female crew members.

"Sister Rona, why did you choose Captain Monger? Is it because you like him?"

Crane once asked Rona about it.

"Like? Do you think a woman my age still has these feelings? Well, I admit I have a crush on that bastard, after all, he was my savior when I was a kid and someone I've always pursued. But if liking someone means giving your whole heart, then I probably can't do that."

Crane remembered Rona's expression at that time; it was a mixture of sneer and melancholy.

"If I were a member of the White Wolf Pirates, or twenty or thirty years younger, I would probably entrust myself completely to Munger, just like Lily and Ripley."

"But that won't work."

“I am not a member of the White Wolf Pirates, but the founder of the new Navy. I left the Navy with these comrades who trusted me, so I must take responsibility for their choice.”

Therefore, the reason why Rona chose Munger was partly due to admiration, partly due to liking him, and partly due to a sense of responsibility.

"That guy is actually pretty good to his woman."

As if she could see right through Munger, Rona said with a smile.

"Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to let me build this army that is outside his combat system and even lacks any restraint over me."

"This is really difficult. I was deliberately scheming against him, but he's treating me so well. Doesn't this make me look like a bad woman?"

"It's too late to regret it now."

Originally, he only wanted to use Monger's power to build his own new navy and give an explanation to the naval soldiers who followed him.

But as time went on, Lorna found herself enjoying the relationship more and more.

"I don't know how far Munger will go in the future, nor do I know if he will change his ideals."

“But I can always be by his side and watch over him.”

The red-haired female navy officer stirred the thick soup in her bowl with a spoon, a faint smile on her face.

“He is the person I chose, so I have an obligation to watch him go. If he makes the wrong choice, then I will try my best to correct him.”

At that moment, the crane understood.

Rona probably really fell in love with Munger, but the responsibilities and sense of justice she carried prevented her from giving herself completely to him.

She chose to stay by Munger's side in her own way.

If Monger's actions align with Rona's sense of justice, then Rona will support Monger no matter what happens.

Conversely, if Monger did something that went against Rona's sense of justice.

Then she will take on the responsibility of supervision.

The reason why Monger established a new navy but did not hinder its expansion was probably to limit his own power.

"I am not a god, but a human being, so I will make mistakes."

Humans have desires, and desires are things that can never be satisfied. Therefore, Munger hoped that the people around him could also supervise him.

"To become a tyrant requires only strength, but a tyrant cannot become a king of ordinary people!"

Munger's lack of greed for power, her clear self-awareness, and the little things that He witnessed ultimately led her to make her decision.

"I want to be by your side, I want to watch you change the world, and I want to tell myself that my choice was not wrong."

Monger could tell that Crane's feelings for him weren't love. Perhaps she had some affection for him, but that affection was clearly not enough to justify her devotion.

The girl got involved herself.

I want to be the rope that ties down the wolf, Monger.

"Won't you regret it?"

Monger had said the same thing to Stussy.

"I do not regret!"

The girl looked at Munger with bright eyes.

South China Sea.

Two young naval officers are training hard; one is swinging his fist at a huge rock, while the other is doing one-handed push-ups with a mountain of rocks on his back.

"Ugh, damn it, how much longer are we going to have to stay here?"

"who knows."

The black-haired youth with a messy frizzy pursed his lips. He could roughly tell that the World Government had gathered those scientists, and it seemed that they were developing something. In addition to the Navy, the entire island also had a large number of CP organization members, as well as a considerable number of Celestial Dragons as guards.

Although no naval admiral is stationed here, it can still be described as an impregnable fortress.

"Damn it, while I'm wasting my time here, Roger must have already made it to the New World!"

"Garp, the young naval officer with a scar on his face, shouted in dissatisfaction."

Ever since he encountered the Roger Pirates during a mission two years ago, he has formed an indissoluble bond with them.

Over the next two years, he made several attempts to capture the Roger Pirates.

As a result, they all escaped from Roger's pirate crew.

"Roger didn't know Haki the time before last, but when he fought me last time, his Haki level was almost as good as mine. If this continues, he'll catch up with me!" "He managed to evade your pursuit so many times. If we don't take him seriously, that pirate named Roger will become a major threat to our Navy sooner or later."

"Warring States Period," he said earnestly.

"It's a pity that Uncle Kong and the others are only focused on the White Wolf Pirates right now and aren't interested in any other pirate crews. Otherwise, if we just spared a few people, the Roger Pirates would definitely have no chance of escaping!"

In the Navy today, only the White Wolf Pirates can attract the Navy's attention, followed by the Rocks Pirates, and then the Whitebeard Pirates, who are like children playing house.

Of the three pirate crews, two were separated from the White Wolf Pirates.

The fact that the two pirate crews that split off from the main force is giving the Navy a huge headache.

The Rocks Pirates were incredibly powerful, and Rocks himself possessed Admiral-level strength, earning him the nickname "Little White King" within the Navy.

There is an order within the Navy.

Without the leadership of an admiral-level powerhouse, the pursuit of the Rocks Pirates is prohibited.

The same applies to the Whitebeard Pirates!

However, the Navy was wary of the Rocks Pirates. While wary of Rocks, they also believed that the crew members of the Rocks Pirates were equally difficult to deal with.

However, the Navy only has one assessment of the Whitebeard Pirates.

Never mind it!
Unlike the Rocks Pirates, who roamed around like street urchins, the Whitebeard Pirates initially seemed intimidating, but after a few encounters, a group of Marines discovered their true nature.

Also from the White Wolf Pirates, Rocks, the captain of the Rocks Pirates, even boasted that he would challenge White King Munger.

And what about Edward Newgate with his white beard?
He only wanted to take care of the children, and even went from country to country looking for suitable crew members, nine out of ten of whom were children.

Judging from Whitebeard's posture, he was serious!
So after thinking for a long time without figuring out what Newgate was up to, and after confirming that the Whitebeard Pirates wouldn't actively oppose them, the Navy ultimately adopted a laissez-faire attitude towards the Whitebeard Pirates.

I don't want to care, I'm too lazy to care, let it be.

No one knows when the World Government and the White Wolf Pirates will clash a second time. Under intense external pressure, some positions that require seniority have been reassigned.

For a time, the entire navy displayed an unprecedented vitality and energy.

But is this a case of withered trees reviving in spring or a final burst of life before death?

That depends on the outcome of the future battle.

In short, three years after the war at Acropolis, Garp and Sengoku, who were just young lieutenants at the time, were both promoted to major generals.

Although they are only rear admirals, some elite naval vice admirals are not necessarily their match.

Meanwhile, the two were carrying out a top-secret mission assigned by the World Government to protect the scientists who were stationed on this remote island and were conducting research on a new type of energy.

This stay lasted for several months, and even Sengoku, let alone Garp, couldn't stand the loneliness.

but.

If Garp knew that the pirate Roger, whom he now longs for, was on this island, he would definitely have a completely different reaction.

"A bunch of sons of bitches, where the hell is this?"

Hidden among a group of scientists, Roger, who barely knew any words, reluctantly joined them to look at an energy design blueprint.

The drawings indicate that this is a new type of energy developed to help the world escape the predicament of energy scarcity.

Roger didn't believe a word the World Government said, but the scientists around him discussed it with great interest.

Roger was drenched in sweat.

Although he had only just mastered Observation Haki, his innate ability to hear the voices of all things told him that what he saw was the blueprint for an energy source prepared for a terrifying weapon.

Roger didn't care about energy blueprints; all he knew was that he had arranged to meet the others on the ship in Baltimore, but instead, he had been kidnapped and brought to this godforsaken place.

And yet, it was heavily guarded.

Even without using his Observation Haki, Roger could see that there were a large number of formidable guards around the building housing the scientists.

It would be virtually impossible for him to escape on his own.

"I wonder how Rayleigh and Jabba are doing? Oh well, I'm barely able to take care of myself right now, so I guess I'll just have to let them fend for themselves."

Despite his predicament, Roger did not lose his motivation to fight.

So what if he got caught?

The good news is that the guards thought he was one of the Baltimore scientists, and those scientists were all shrewd and had no intention of betraying Roger without knowing the World Government's intentions.

Roger stayed on this remote island for several months.

Until one day, he heard that laughter that he loathed so much.

A giant sea fish towed the Rocks Pirates' ship, speeding from the end of the sea. Who else was standing at the forefront besides Rocks?

"Hahaha, is this the place? Hey, you marines guarding this place, tell your boss I want this place. If you don't want to die, you'd better get out of here!"

His Observation Haki had already detected that there was only one aura on this island that posed a threat to him. How could a mere general-level expert possibly be his match?
He wants to learn from Munger; if he's going to fight, he'll fight two opponents!

"Lox D. Giebeck?"

Deep within the island, an old man leaning on a cane had a cold expression. The pressure exerted on them by the White Wolf Pirates forced them to reactivate a weapon from hundreds of years ago. Whatever the consequences might be, it was better than the World Government being overthrown by Monger.

Indeed, after the Battle of Acropolis Port, the Five Elders have begun to worry about the future situation and even doubt whether they can defeat the White Wolf Pirates.

This suspicion was amplified to the extreme after top-tier powerhouses appeared one after another in the White Wolf Pirates, making the reactivation of the Ancient Weapons an urgent matter.

In the past, there existed three ancient weapons capable of destroying the world, known as Uranus, Poseidon, and Pluto.

Although Neptune and Hades have been lost, Uranus is in their hands.

This is also one of their strongest trump cards.

However, as time went by, this trump card developed a major problem—they had no way to replenish the energy that the Heavenly King was losing naturally, which resulted in the Heavenly King now becoming an empty shell.

That's why he kidnapped all the scientists in Baltimore.

It was to help the Heavenly King replenish his energy.

The claim that the world is being helped to escape its energy crisis is a lie. The world government's true purpose is to reactivate this ancient weapon.

As long as Uranus can be restarted, no matter how far the White Wolf Pirates' power expands, they will only be reduced to ashes in the face of destructive power.

Just as he expected.

The White Wolf Pirates couldn't stand by and watch them develop weapons that could threaten them, so they sent their trusted admiral, Rocks.

Since Monger underestimated them, they wouldn't mind helping him cut off one of the wolf's claws.

"Lord Im!"

"No."

Before Saturn Jaygolucia Satan could even speak...

Im refused him.

because.

"Monger has appeared in Mary Geoise!"
