The pinnacle of pirates begins with deceiving fate!

Chapter 201 The Legend Begins Again!

"Okay, no problem."

John was very understanding of Lox's small request.

What is the purpose of living?

There may be countless answers to this, but "emotion" is definitely one of them.

Especially after achieving great success, retiring with one's beloved is the ultimate dream for many.

Although Rocks has not yet fulfilled his ambitions, he has already reached a level that many people cannot achieve in their entire lives. After struggling against Im's demonic will for so many years, it is normal for him to have come to some understandings.

Thank you.

Many years have passed, but nothing has changed, and Lockes felt a warm feeling in his heart.

That night, the three former members of the Rocks Pirates drank and talked all night long, reminiscing about interesting stories, the past, the Will of D, and the origins of the David clan.

The campfire crackled and popped, and with a sky full of stars and close friends by my side, I felt an unparalleled sense of freedom.

As for where we'll go tomorrow and what will happen, everything is unknown. But it's precisely this unknown that makes us want to look forward to it.

Tomorrow will surely be wonderful!

……

Several days later, Marineford, Naval Headquarters.

Inside the marshal's office, a well-behaved goat chewed on discarded documents, the bell hanging around its neck jingling.

Behind his desk, Fleet Admiral Sengoku stared at the World News Economic News newspaper in his hand, his face grim.

The legend rises again! Captain John declares he will become the Pirate King!

Huge and clear photos filled the entire newspaper page, showing familiar and unfamiliar faces on a pirate ship flying the skull and crossbones flag.

Among them, the man with black and white hair stood out, surpassing John who was standing in the center, and was particularly eye-catching.

The last era's sea king, Rocks D. Giebeck!

This man is still alive!

"You've been gone for so many years, what are you trying to do now?!"

This statement refers not to Locke, but to John.

That purple-haired man is now far more dangerous than Rocks; he is a destabilizing factor that threatens the entire world.

On the sofa beside him, Garp, whose face looked much more weathered, chuckled and teased meaningfully:

"Didn't you make an agreement? How could you not know what that guy was thinking?"

"Garp!"

Sengoku sensed the resentment in his old friend's words; he was still complaining about how his friend had ignored all obstacles and allied with pirates to seize the ancient weapons.

"Now, things are different!"

He wasn't going back on his word or breaking his promise to John, but rather...

The situation is different now!

Although the world's four emperors threaten the World Government's rule, they maintain a delicate balance by restraining each other.

Although accidents could happen at any time, at least for now the sea is calm, and the people are doing relatively well under the protection of the navy.

If, as agreed, John were to overthrow the World Government, it would inevitably trigger a world-wide war.

Whether the future will be better is unknown, but countless naval personnel and civilians will inevitably lose their lives in this great war.

If you make sacrifices but can't guarantee a better tomorrow, why make changes and take on risks and losses?

Therefore, the Warring States period wanted to maintain the status quo and not make any changes!

He wants to stop John!

"They should be entering the Grand Line through Reverse Mountain now. Should we send warships to intercept them?" Garp suddenly became serious.

Upon hearing this, Zhan Guo frowned and hesitated, weighing the pros and cons.

The World Government and the Navy currently adopt a laissez-faire attitude towards the "Four Emperors" and will never easily provoke a war.

The "Four Emperors" are no longer just simple pirates, but true emperors of the sea, possessing power far exceeding that of many member states.

Once a war is started, it will not be a small-scale skirmish by a pirate crew, but a super war capable of destroying multiple countries!

At that time, only countless poor civilians will suffer.

However, according to the intelligence currently held by the World Government and the Navy, Captain John, one of the "Four Emperors," has always been a loner, which is very different from the other three emperors.

If it weren't for Captain John's unprecedented record of destroying Mary Geoise, he might not even be considered one of the "Four Emperors".

and so……

Perhaps we could try sending a fleet to intercept "Captain John"!

In the Warring States period, a brilliant idea flashed in his eyes, which allowed him to both attack and defend.

"Then let Vice Admiral Huang lead the fleet to hunt down 'Captain John'."

He knew that Huang had maintained contact with John all these years, and their relationship was very deep.

By having Ootori step forward, the Navy's stance could be demonstrated to the world, John could be kept in check to prevent him from going on a killing spree, and CP0, who were accompanying the military, could gather intelligence.

perfect!

"Tsuru-chan will curse you to death!"

Garp shook his head, got up from the sofa, patted his butt, and indicated that he would not get involved in this matter.

"what."

Zhan Guo nodded, having prepared himself mentally.

I will bear it all.

"..."

new world

"All Nations" Totland

The wind here is sweet, the seawater is made up of different flavored drinks, and the scattered islands are like desserts in a dessert shop, with all kinds of chocolates, creams, and cakes.

All of this was not something that existed in the world from the beginning; it was created by the Devil Fruit user, Longbread, who used the power of the Devil Fruit to modify it.

There is never hunger here.

At this very moment, in Sweet City on Cake Island in the center of the sea, the "Queen's Tea Party" is being held.

The pirate captains under the Big Mom Pirates, as well as the emperors and intelligence strategists of the underworld, and even the kings of member states, bounty hunters, and explorers were all present.

Here, they were like subjects, coming to pay homage to the queen who ruled the seas.

"MAMAMAMA~"

In the center of the dance floor, the increasingly plump Lingling danced gracefully surrounded by a group of Homies, her smile sweet and happy like a child.

But the guests dared not be presumptuous because of that "childlike smile." Even if their hands were red and swollen from clapping, they had to continue clapping to provide the Queen with as much emotional support as they could.

A guard rushed over, clutching the latest newspaper, and stood at the edge of the dance floor, gazing at the queen dancing gracefully, hesitant to approach.

The intelligence was urgent, but he dared not disturb "Mom's" enjoyment at this time.

A pink-haired young man with his arms crossed and a tall, straight posture noticed this scene and walked over.

He was Charlotte Katakuri, the second son of the Charlotte family, who was 26 years old at the time!

"Lord Katakuri."

Seeing Katakuri step forward and extend his hand, the guard breathed a sigh of relief and handed over the newspaper without reporting or explaining.

He knew that Lord Katakuri, with his Observation Haki that allowed him to foresee the future, had already asked him for details.

Katakuri took the newspaper, unfolded it, and looked at the photo that filled the entire page. He stared at the purple-haired man in the photo, who was both strange and familiar, and his eyes were filled with emotion.

Chapter 202 Reactions from All Parties

Because of a sentence the purple-haired man once said...

"Even dogs wouldn't eat Paramecia-type Devil Fruits."

To this day, Katakuri, under pressure from his mother, has still not eaten the special Paramecia-type Mochi Mochi Fruit.

As it turned out, what the man ate was not the Paramecia-type Magnet-Magnet Fruit, but the Logia-type Rumble-Rumble Fruit.

That man didn't lie to him!

Katakuri, newspaper in hand, walked towards the graceful figure dancing on the dance floor, amidst the gazes of the guests and his brothers and sisters.

"mom!"

"Ok?"

Her pleasant mood was interrupted, and the radiant smile on Lingling's face vanished instantly, replaced by a gloomy expression filled with anger.

Even when facing her own child, she showed no leniency, her voice cold and indifferent.

"Katakuri, what do you want?"

"Urgent intelligence."

Katakuri remained calm, the only one among all the Charlotte family children who wasn't affected by Linling's pressure, and slowly handed over the newspaper.

Lingling took the newspaper, and the photo that filled the entire page made her pupils shrink suddenly.

John, Rocks, Kaido...

Rocks is still alive!

These three dangerous individuals have actually gotten together; have they formed an alliance?

Or...did they form a pirate crew?
