The pinnacle of pirates begins with deceiving fate!

The next day

John did not fly directly to Branch G-5, but instead took a ship to the Sabaody Archipelago, then a lift to the top of the Red Line, and via the Holy Land to the New World.

This is the exclusive path for World Government personnel to reach the latter half of the route.

It is worth mentioning that the current situation of four emperors ruling over the country has not yet formed, so the concept of a "new world" has not yet emerged.

The second half is just the second half.

"Question: What qualities must an excellent thief possess?"

"The answer lies in knowing when to strike a chord!"

John, wearing a coat of justice, walked alone through the holy site with his hands in his pockets, openly looking around as if he were scouting the area.

It must be admitted that the air here is significantly fresher; a deep breath reveals a faint fragrance of grass and trees.

White clouds floated low in the blue sky, and a cluster of Renaissance-style palace buildings could be seen in the distance, making it a scene of unparalleled beauty.

"Such a wonderful place should belong to me."

As John wandered around, he decided he didn't want to leave.

Brubru

"Ok?"

John frowned instinctively as the Den Den Mushi in his pocket rang, assuming it was another call from Ooh.

I don't know how the girl found out about the inside story, but she has been frantically calling him several times, demanding an explanation.

How could he possibly explain!

But Huang insisted that once she was promoted to the rank of Major General, she would apply to be transferred to the G-5 branch to find him.

As expected, it was probably that old bastard Garp who leaked the information, and he used the same method to keep Huang under control.

"I hate clingy women."

John impatiently pulled out a Den Den Mushi, intending to completely dissuade Phoenix from pursuing him.

After connecting, it was discovered that the Den Den Mushi was imitating Reed.

John, I'm getting married!

As soon as the call connected, Reed's excited voice came through eagerly.

John's lips twitched, and a strange sense of loneliness washed over him.

Garp is, Rocks is, Linlin is, and now even you, Reed, are getting married!

Isn't being single fun?

John was very unhappy, but as his secretary and confidant, Reed still had to be given the respect he deserved.

"Oh, when? I'll see if I'm free to come to the wedding."

"I'm having my wedding today, so you don't need to go through all that trouble to come all this way."

"Oh, then best of luck to you."

"Hehe! I've already decided. If it's a son, I'll name him Smoker, and if it's a daughter, I'll name her Farahish."

"Huh? Smoker?"

John's eyes widened suddenly.

"Don't tell me your wedding was held in Loguetown."

"How did you know? Loguetown is my wife's hometown, and we did indeed have our wedding here."

"Okay, great! I'll grant you another month's leave, as a blessing for your wedding."

Thank you!

"..."

After chatting about their recent situations, John hung up the phone, looked up at the sky, and smiled gloomily.

If you look at the timeline, next year is indeed the time when Smoker will be born.

Everyone says that the deserter stole Smoker's life, but now Smoker is his man, and he'll see who dares to make a move!

However, Smoker's personality...

"Tsk, tsk, tsk!"

John suddenly felt a headache coming on.

Smoker's sense of justice is impeccable, but his excessive righteousness may conflict with his beliefs.

"It doesn't matter. A qualified politician should be able to use both loyal and treacherous officials."

Diversity is essential to prevent us from going to extremes.

Kingdom of Einberg, Buffalo Town.

This is a small town located in the heart of a huge island, surrounded by forests.

The midday sun shone on the street as an elegant man in a blood-red cloak slowly walked to the door of a coffee shop. He paused briefly, took a deep breath, and then pushed the door open before entering.

Jingle Bell

As the brass bell behind the door rang, the woman in the red dress standing behind the bar looked in the direction of the sound and nodded politely in greeting.

"Welcome! What would you like to drink?"

"One mocha, with extra whipped cream, please."

The man's gaze lingered on the woman's face for a moment longer, then he nodded in response and walked towards the corner.

He sat down in a corner seat, so that his face was facing the bar, allowing him to openly look at the busy woman.

The man's name was Barlowley Clydefield, a notorious pirate in the outside world.

But in this small town surrounded by forests and isolated from the outside world, almost no one recognized him.

Redfield originally intended to stay in this almost isolated place for a while, but he did not expect to meet the person he thought was his destiny.

The woman in the red dress was unable to have her heart probed by his Observation Haki!

Like him, they must be naturally gifted in Observation Haki.

This gave Redfield the idea of ​​contacting the other party.

Chapter 90 Dreaming Back to Beehive Island

"Here's your coffee, sir."

The woman in the red dress placed the coffee on the table with a tray, then turned to leave.

But when the man opened his mouth as if to say something, the woman stopped what she was doing and looked at him intently.

"Thank you."

In the end, Redfield only said thank you.

"You're welcome."

The woman smiled gently, and sunlight streamed through the window, illuminating her cascading black hair, creating a beautiful interplay of light and shadow.

At that moment, Redfield's heart pounded uncontrollably twice.

This feeling is unlike anything I've ever experienced before!

Even after the woman returned to the bar to continue working, Redfield remained stunned, unable to recover from that moment in the video.

He was nearly forty, yet he had only felt the beauty of humanity a few times.

As a child, I experienced the beauty of ideals through a man named "Nose Song" Brook.

After becoming a pirate, he experienced the beauty of unbridled freedom from Roger.

There is a sense of beauty in Newgate, a beauty of protection and the search for stability.

As for the likes of Garp and Rocks, their hearts are too guarded, and their Observation Haki is more of a "defensive" type, making it impossible for him to see through them.

Then there is nothing.

Even the parents, who usually seem to be incredibly loving, harbor resentment towards each other deep down.

They even wish the other person were dead!

Countless times, she hated him in her heart, thinking that he had not followed the path they had laid out for him and that his failure to marry the duke's daughter had led to the decline of the family.

I deeply regret giving birth to him!

He grew up amidst the ugliness of human nature.

At that moment, Redfield, unable to see into a person's heart, felt the beauty of life.

He wanted to get to know the woman, but because he couldn't see into her heart, he didn't know how to start the conversation.

He became timid.

Navy G-5 Branch Base

The warships that had been transporting food supplies to the Red Earth returned to port. John stepped onto the gangplank and onto the bridge, looking up at the fortress before him.

This is a fortress built on an isolated island. It looks like a giant iron barrel, with no ordinary residential areas.

Then, John turned to look at the warships anchored in the harbor, a cryptic glint in his eyes.

The Celestial Dragons did not cultivate any food in the Holy Land, only inedible trees and flowers.

They need to rely on the naval bases on both sides of the Red Earth to continuously purchase and transport food up there in order to sustain the daily expenses of so many people.

Cutting off food supplies and shutting down the elevator can indeed starve the Celestial Dragons to death on board.

A lieutenant disembarked from the warship, stuffed the prepared transport list into his pocket, and approached John, tilting his head to indicate:

"Major General John, come with me."

"Ah."

John nodded, already used to the sailors' disrespect.
