One Piece: The Beginning Top War

"Father, what do you think Katie wants to do?" Looking at the ups and downs of the sea outside, Iji couldn't help but ask.

The failed marriage with the original Yonko BIGMOM Pirates made them realize for the first time what powerlessness and despair are.

That feeling of suffocation, like being pressed down by a mountain, I still remember clearly to this day and even wake up from my dreams from time to time. I'm afraid it will be difficult to forget it in the future.

To make matters worse, his marriage to the Four Emperors failed and he was resented by the World Government. Not only did he lose the right to participate in the World Conference, but he became a bounty criminal and was wanted around the world.

If Katie had not made a bigger noise at that time, leaving the world government with no spare power to deal with itself, I would have been imprisoned in the city, or fled in a certain sea area.

It was precisely because of that experience that they were so proud that they realized the gap between the Vinsmoke family and the world's top forces.

So after hearing about the Shadow Tower plan from Doflamingo, Gaji decisively agreed to the other party's proposal.

However, he couldn't understand, is it really necessary for Shadow House or Katie to declare war on pirates, bandits and gangs all over the world at the same time?

"We don't want to guess what that adult is thinking."

"Just watch quietly. Soon, a new, different, and unimaginable era will come!"

"Recognize your identity and be a bystander...that's all." Gaji said.

The voice he spoke was very low. At this moment, he did not have the domineering spirit that he had when he was galloping across the North Sea and looking forward to the new world.

In fact, because of the dazzling Katie, he wanted to be overwhelmed by the big sun. At this time, if you want to survive in this era, you can only obey Katie's orders, otherwise you will die!

"Hurry and prepare the resources needed for the Shadow Tower."

Gaji waved his hand to signal his son to leave. The most important thing now is to complete the agreement with Shadow Tower!

...

Looking through the window at the countless stars hanging in the sky outside, Rayleigh, who was drinking, had complicated eyes.

There is nostalgia, reluctance, emotion, and relief; in addition, there is also some longing and expectation.

"Why, you still can't accept the fact that the Grand Route has been cut off?"

Xia Qi came from behind holding a goblet. Although her eyes were not as mixed as Rayleigh's, they were not much better.

After a moment of silence, Rayleigh shook his head and said: "That's not the case. Replacing old things with new things is another basic law to eliminate the law of the jungle. Nothing in this world is eternal."

"It's just that I didn't expect this day to come so soon. I always thought that this day would come one or two decades after my death. I never imagined that I would be able to witness this scene with my own eyes."

"You and I both know why pirates exist. Once the goal is achieved, no matter who controls the world, they will find ways to completely eliminate pirates. This is why Garp can agree to Katie."

"A thief will be a thief after all, and he cannot stand on the stage."

With a long sigh, Dao Jin felt helpless. He wasn't blaming anyone, he was just lamenting the way the world was.

"Who says it isn't?"

Of course Xia Qi feels the same way. On the surface, she is the owner of this hotel, but secretly she is in charge of a quite large intelligence organization. As someone who walks in the gray field, she knows the rules of this world very well.

Taking a sip of red wine from the glass, Xia Qiruo pointed out: "Tomorrow, I don't know how many people will die under the gunfire of the Shadow Tower, and how much of the sea will be dyed red with blood."

Today is the second day and the final deadline for the Shadow Tower to declare war on all pirates and bandits in the four seas.

For the pirate groups that were disbanded in the past two days, Shadow Tower will grant pardons and no longer pursue them.

Starting from tomorrow, anyone discovered by the Shadow Tower will be killed without mercy, regardless of the reason or cause and effect!

No surrender will be accepted, no prisoners will be taken.

Even now, Xia Qi still couldn't believe that such a decisive order was personally issued by a young man in his twenties.

Although special times require special policies, such bloody orders are somewhat inhumane.

Before this, she had always thought that only that mad dog Sakaski would give such an order, but today there was another Katie.

"By the way, what time is it now?"

Xia Qi was stunned by Lei Li's sudden question, but she still turned to look at the watch hanging on the wall, and then replied: "11:55 in the evening, is there any problem?"

"nothing."

After saying that, Rayleigh became silent again.

However, Xia Qi frowned. After all, they had lived together for more than twenty years. She knew very well what Lei Li's urination was. She would never ask about the time in such a boring way. There must be something behind this.

The problem is, no matter how hard I try, I can't figure out what's hidden in it.

Eleven fifty-five? Eleven fifty-five? Eleven fifty-five?

The repeated six words appeared repeatedly in Xia Qi's mind, and she had a hunch that there was a layer of window paper between herself and the truth of the matter.

What left her speechless was that no matter which direction she looked from, she could not find the problem and had no clue.

Just when she couldn't help but open her mouth to ask, the clock that meant twelve o'clock rang.

Ding dong, ding dong, ding dong;

The melodious and loud voice blocked Xia Qi's mouth, thinking to wait for the bell to end before asking.

At this moment, there was no other sound except the bell in the small tavern.

The quiet and peaceful atmosphere is just like the world shrouded in darkness.

However, as the saying goes, it is a murderous night when the moon is dark and the wind is high.

Certain activities that were inconvenient during the day began quietly at this moment.

Ding dong;

Half a minute later, when the last bell fell, the gossiping Xia Qi opened her mouth and said: "Thunder..."

Before the word "profit" could escape her lips, a loud phone ringing appeared first, interrupting her again.

"Really!"

The depressed Xia Qi suddenly had the urge to smash the wine glass in her hand.

Taking a deep breath, he suppressed the urge, then turned and walked towards the counter.

"I want to see who is so short-sighted!"

As he spoke, he picked up the phone.

"Hey, I'm Xia Qi!"

"Boss, Shadow Tower has taken action, they..."

With the other party's introduction, Xia Qi's angry and depressed mood quickly disappeared, and a flash of understanding and shock flashed in her eyes.

Two minutes later, Xia Qi, who understood the whole process, ended the call, walked slowly to Lei Li and sat down.

"Just now, the eight squadrons dispatched by the Shadow Tower to all over the world took action at the same time at twelve o'clock."

"In addition, more than half of the pirates scattered across the four seas are being attacked by the Sea King class."

"Did you already guess that this would be the case?"

Although she was asking, Xia Qi's eyes were full of affirmation.

"It's not difficult. Katie has never taken the usual path. Since it's today, we don't rule out the possibility of starting at twelve in the morning." Reilly didn't hide it and nodded in recognition.
