The Great Pirate Era!

Countless ambitious individuals dissatisfied with the status quo, dreamers with aspirations, and ordinary people who did not want to be enslaved all set sail and became pirates because of Roger's call.

Even now, the world is still affected by the lingering influence of the Great Pirate Era.

Even Whitebeard, known as the strongest, possessed the vast pirate kingdom of Torrent, ruled Wano Country for countless years, and Kaido, the Pirate Emperor who connected the underworld, patrolled the four seas, and the Marine Headquarters had countless powerful figures.

In terms of reputation, they are all inevitably overshadowed by the Pirate King Roger.

anyway,

Islands ravaged by pirates, kingdoms stolen, countries saved by pirates, slaves whose shackles were broken by pirates.

Under the influence of the Great Pirate Era, there are good and bad, pain and bloodshed, but also redemption and hope.

This legendary figure is indispensable.

And now,

Finally, a new light appeared, tearing apart the indelible ideological imprint that Pirate King Roger had left on the pirate world.

adventurer!

These are such short words, but in other contexts they might even be ridiculed.

When Shanks uttered those words in front of everyone, they were like a sharp blade, piercing deep into everyone's hearts and breaking the shackles of the Great Pirate Era.

The crowd went from confusion to bewilderment, and finally to enlightenment.

That's just how it is.

Even now, mainstream pirates are still scoundrels who burn, kill, and plunder.

The people who gather in Mock Town, mocking dreams and freely ridiculing pirates like Luffy, represent the typical mindset of pirates on this sea.

However, these people should not be ridiculed.

Freedom, dreams, salvation, friendship—these are the beautiful qualities imprinted in the human heart, not something pirates should possess.

Most people who initially set sail with dreams of adventure will be mocked by the giant town of Mako, the world of pirates, and gradually become just another ordinary person, eventually becoming numb and turning into a member of the pirates.

And from now on,

They are no longer pirates, but adventurers!

Red-haired Shanks is the pioneer who broke the curse and the one who vindicated adventurers!

"Oops!"

Lieutenant General Tsuru frowned as he listened to Shanks's remarks, unable to determine whether they were good or bad.

Akainu, panting heavily with depleted energy, cursed, "What an incredibly arrogant statement! This sea will probably become even more chaotic in the future!"

This statement,

It will definitely ignite the entire ocean, and even those who originally despised the evil of pirates will find themselves unable to resist setting sail.

It's so shocking and so tempting.

Even Sakazuki, known for his iron will and righteousness, felt a momentary flutter in his heart.

Having failed to stop Shanks' declaration, Aokiji reverted to his lazy demeanor and said, "Isn't it a good thing that the pirates have been divided up and a new group of adventurers has emerged?"

"In that case, the pirates who were once somewhat restrained and dared not go too far will probably turn into mindless beasts once they are completely separated!"

"Those pirates are beasts; they deserve to die even without the adventurers!"

The naval commanders were unable to reach a consensus due to ideological differences.

but,

Most naval officers held a negative view of the matter.

Because the Navy's justice requires order, not chaos, the order and justice they uphold will ultimately become even more difficult to maintain because of Shanks's remarks.

The outcome, which has caused a global uproar, is now irreversible.

We can only try our best to make up for it.

In any case, it's fortunate that the family tombstone wasn't damaged.

"Hmph hmph hmph."

On an island, the Flamingo Legion players stood guard outside the castle.

Doflamingo, as if provoked, frantically muttered to himself, "Shanks! Shanks! Shanks! Shanks!"

"What astonishing courage! Is this why those guys in the Knights of God are willing to let you return to Marienjoia?"

His desertion was not only due to the unfavorable situation, but also because he deliberately wanted to oppose Shanks.

after all,

We are all Celestial Dragons who left Marinejoia.

Why is it that you are valued by the Five Elders, while you can't be accepted back even after killing your father?

So that’s it!

Doflamingo feared many pirates, including Kaido of the Beasts Pirates, Big Mom of the Torment Kingdom, and Whitebeard.

No need to hide it,

My understanding is very simple and easy to grasp: strength is everything; the weak will be devoured by me, while only those with great strength can earn my fear.

It was just fear.

But ironically, Shanks found himself experiencing a completely unfamiliar emotion.

This feeling had vaguely surfaced once before when I witnessed the execution of Gol D. Roger, the Pirate King.

Back then, he was too young and the emotions quickly faded before he could even savor them. This time, however, his feelings were very real.

admire.

Respect to those who ushered in a new era!

"How could someone like me genuinely admire someone from the bottom of my heart?"

Doflamingo removed his flamingo glasses, holding an unopened bottle of red wine in his hand, lost in thought for a long time.

Chapter 248 Nika's Will Interferes with Luffy

On the slave ship,

The Lunaria orphan's eyes shone brightly, like a flickering flame in the darkness, as she exclaimed excitedly, "I don't want to be an evil pirate, nor do I want to be a slave!"

"I want to become an adventurer!"

"Freedom, will, dreams—I want to restore the glory of the Lunaria race!"

He spoke with great passion and fervor.

Rayleigh remained silent for a long time, his gaze fixed on Shanks, who was now like a skeleton, affected by the backlash of the aura.

His gaze was complex, containing shock and incomprehension, as well as melancholy and confusion.

"Shanks, you were the captain's chosen successor, but now you're forging your own path?"

Rayleigh pondered Shanks' declaration over and over, muttering, "Adventurer, what a fitting title. That little brat has truly ushered in a remarkable new era!"

In his eyes, Shanks is a very promising junior.

It wasn't until this junior unknowingly surpassed him that Rayleigh finally belatedly realized the changes that had occurred in the ocean.

"Is a Contract Fruit required to become a player?"

Rayleigh had never been so eager to log into the game and take a look.

East China Sea battlefield

Beckman, formerly of the Red-Haired Pirates and now the vice-president of the Adventurers' Guild, rushed to Shanks' side.

He carefully took out the life-restoring potion, afraid that even the slightest movement would disrupt Shanks' efforts to maintain his vital signs.

[Fluctuating Scars]: This state continuously consumes health points, ending after deducting 100,000 health points.

100,000 health points!

This means that for a long time to come, Shanks will need to keep life-restoring potions on hand and will be in a very weak state.

Using the frail body of a Tier 1 player to activate the Tier 2 Dark Sky Wave Eye would result in a terrifying backlash.

This is the gap in life levels.

"We must kill the Red-Haired Pirates scum!"

Looking at the destroyed naval family territory, Sakazuki's eyes turned bloodshot, and hot lava dripped continuously from his palms.

He killed deserters, he manipulated power, and he despised those who disregarded justice.

However, Akainu's loyalty and love for the good navy are second to none, and he even feels that they are more fervent than others.

Seeing his naval family nearly destroyed, he wished he could burn the perpetrators to ashes!

Lieutenant General Tsuru suddenly said, "Let him leave!"

"Ms. Tsuru, are you being manipulated by an illusionist? You let go of the pirate who provoked the Navy and caused great harm to the Navy family. Are you being controlled by an illusionist?"

Sakazuki turned his head with a cold expression and looked at the crane who had made the decision.

He didn't address her by her naval rank, but rather as "Madam," which was enough to express his dissatisfaction.

"General Sakazuki, I told you, you must remain calm."

Vice Admiral Tsuru's eyes also showed resentment, but his expression remained unchanged as he said, "Ever since Shanks announced the disbandment of the pirate crew and uttered that adventurer's declaration, unless he was burned to death by your magma cannon just now, the Navy has had no chance to take action."

Shanks' announcement will bring forth a group completely different from pirates: adventurers.

To some extent,

Shanks is now tied to the adventurer community, and the Navy's attitude towards him will determine how future adventurers will treat the Navy.

Pirates, these evil groups,
