The pinnacle of pirates begins with deceiving fate!

"Fuck!"

God Valley Town Outskirts

"Listen to me, don't cry out loud, just bear with it a little longer."

Dorrag carried the two red-haired babies in his arms, stumbling through the jungle, his heart pounding wildly as he was on edge.

He stumbled upon the two babies in the town by chance and rescued them while the Celestial Dragons were fleeing in panic because of the pirates.

This is the only thing Dorrag can do right now, to the best of his ability.

"Which direction are the naval warships?"

As he ran, Dorrag stopped and looked around at the surrounding jungle with a blank and anxious expression.

Looking at them from left to right, all the trees seem to look the same; it's impossible to tell them apart.

"what should I do?"

Dorrag clenched his teeth, hating his own powerlessness.

He had only recently joined the navy and hadn't had time for any special training before being brought here directly by a warship.

Moreover, before this, he was raised by his father in the Kingdom of Goa, and due to his inherited mischievous nature, he did not study properly.

They were trapped in the jungle and had no skills to determine their direction.

Dorag regretted that he had been too playful and hadn't studied seriously.

"We found him, the navy officer who took the baby."

Suddenly, a voice rang out from behind him, startling Dorrag into turning around.

The newcomer was a woman with two horns on her head, hair of two colors, and sharp teeth. At that moment, she was holding a Den Den Mushi in her right hand and a cigar in her left.

"Pirates?"

Dorrag frowned, then decisively turned and ran.

Just because the Celestial Dragons are demons doesn't mean pirates are trustworthy!

"Still running?"

As Dorag fled, the Thatcherz Maffei Palace opened its mouth full of sharp teeth, and light gathered within.

After a brief period of energy storage, a laser beam shot out with a "Biu".

Locked in by his Observation Haki, the laser precisely struck Dragon's right shoulder, piercing through flesh and blood before hurtling into the distant jungle, where it then triggered a violent explosion.

The intense pain caused Dorrag's nerves to spasm, briefly causing him to lose consciousness. His body fell straight forward to the ground amidst the shockwave of the explosion.

In the last second before falling to the ground, Dorrag instinctively shifted his body to the side to avoid crushing the two babies in his arms.

Finally, as Dorrag fell, the two babies rolled out of his arms and landed on the grass.

"All done, the child is in hand."

"Thanks to you, Maffei! Otherwise, I would have been killed by Garin!"

"I'll remember that, you owe me a favor."

Maffei hung up the phone, stepped forward, and picked up one of the red-haired babies, examining him closely.

"That Garin, he actually had two children without anyone knowing, which is really inconsistent with his usual cold demeanor."

After her initial surprise, Maffei turned her gaze to Dragon, who was lying on the ground and gradually regaining consciousness.

"You're such a weirdo. Should I call you a child kidnapper or a 'righteous' navy officer?"

"and many more!"

With sheer willpower, Dragon forced his heavy body to rise and reach out to the baby that Mafi was holding in her palm.

“These two children are my ‘redemption,’ my redemption for participating in this insane killing game and colluding with you!”

"Ah!"

Maffei scoffed at Dragon's confession, flicked away his cigar, and drew the longsword hanging at his waist.

He gripped the hilt of the sword in reverse, with the tip pointing downwards, and held it above Dorrag's head.

"Your biggest mistake was defying the will of us Celestial Dragons!"

"Farewell, foolish young man."

Dorrag tilted his head, watching the sword fall out of the corner of his eye, and felt a sense of relief.

"This is my end. Thinking of those who have passed away, this is just the retribution I deserve..."

Sizzle

Just as the sword was about to sever Dorrag's neck, countless purple arcs of electricity suddenly appeared on the blade.

Mafi felt as if the sword in her hand had come to life, frozen in mid-air and unable to fall.

"Damn it! What happened...?"

Before she could finish speaking, a figure with flowing purple hair flew out of the jungle.

John extended one hand from behind his back, his right palm facing forward, and struck Maffei squarely on the cheek, carrying her away into the depths of the jungle.

Along the way, Maffei's body snapped off large trees, clearing a path through the jungle.

"Law!"

John continued to slam Maffei's head forward, cursing under his breath.

Actually, he didn't just arrive; he had been nearby for seven or eight seconds and watched helplessly as Dorrag was pierced through the shoulder by a laser.

He remembered that in the original timeline, Newgate and Linlin were supposed to pass by, casually cross a speed bump, and kill Maffei, indirectly saving Dragon.

But during the seven or eight seconds he waited, there was no sign of Newgate and Lingling around, and he could even hear through the "MindNet" that the two of them were still far away.

Good news, my destiny has changed!

The bad news is, he still couldn't resist taking action.

"How can I be so kind? Law! Law! Law! Law! Law!"

John suddenly tightened his grip, grabbed Maffei's head, and hurled her body toward the coastline.

Maffei shot through the jungle like a cannonball, carving a straight path and crashing into a warship moored on the shore.

The warship's ammunition depot was violently struck and detonated, instantly sending flames soaring into the sky and creating a massive shockwave.

John didn't even look at the mess he had made; he quickly turned around and flew back.

"I was looking for Teach, but I 'mistakenly' ended up in Dragon. Is that casino-like bad luck acting up again?"

Chapter 11 Greed

"Or is it simply that I made a mistake?"

John was also somewhat unsure.

After all, he had never heard Teach's voice before, so it was normal for him to make a wrong judgment.

"Never mind, as pirates, we must never leave empty-handed!"

Even if you make a mistake, you have to try and salvage the situation!

In the jungle

Dorrag swayed and struggled to his feet, blinking in confusion, still not quite processing what had just happened.

"I...I'm not dead?"

"That's right! Child!"

Without thinking twice, Dorrag ran toward the two babies who had rolled to the ground.

Shamrock, which was originally held in Maffei's hand, fell to the ground because of John's intervention.

Despite the excruciating pain in his right shoulder, Dorrag held the two babies back in his arms. When he looked up, he saw a man with long purple hair standing in front of him.

"You are……"

"Remember my name!"

John raised his hand and flicked a finger at Dragon's forehead.

"Captain John is your savior, and you will have to repay him for the rest of your life!"

"And those two redheads, you'll have to find a chance to tell them in the future that it was I, 'Captain John,' who saved them!"

"You three all owe me! The law!"

After unleashing a barrage of attacks on Dragon, John felt much less frustrated and leaped up to continue his search for Teach.

"hiss!"

Dorrag winced in pain and gasped for breath, feeling that the blow to the head hurt more than a laser beam and was comparable to his father's punch.

"'Captain John,' I never thought I'd be saved by pirates."

Dorrag's expression was incredibly complicated, but he quickly accepted the reality, picked up the twin babies, turned around, and continued running.

In towns

"It's the Roger Pirates!"

"Rayle has taken Shakky away! Stop him!"

"Defeat Rayleigh and retrieve Shakky!"

"Stop it, you bastards! You'll accidentally hurt Shakky!"

"..."

After the Celestial Dragons left, this place became a stage for a chaotic battle among pirates. Without the ultimate prize, "Shakky," they all set their sights on "treasure" and "Devil Fruits."

Garp and his lieutenant Bogart rushed into the battlefield, but surprisingly, they didn't bother the pirates or Roger who ran past them. Their attention was entirely focused on the Den Den Mushi in their hands.

"Hey! Sengoku! Do you know about this!?"

"...I only found out now."
