Ignite the fire from the pirates

The two little kids stood at the bar of the tavern, chatting with each other and making the villagers, who were waiting for a chance to have a drink at noon, laugh out loud.

"Ace, how are you going to protect me? You're not even as tall as me!"

"Can Luffy's fist defeat the big yellow at the entrance of the village? Hahaha..."

"You two little brats, that's the bar that Makino just cleaned! Get down here now!"

"That general is a real big shot. He is determined to protect the people and values ​​life. You two are nothing like him at the moment!"

"Luffy, come, drink some juice."

Although it was a kind smile, it made the two little devils very dissatisfied.

However, when a glass of juice was handed to him, little Luffy took it and drank it, not forgetting to say thank you.

"Hahahaha!"

The middle-aged uncle laughed: "Lord Luffy, who wants to protect everyone, is actually drinking juice happily. Hahaha!"

Ace pointed at him angrily and said, "You despicable sir! Sooner or later, we will become the most powerful generals!"

These words made Cap, who was outside the tavern, feel very relieved, and for a moment his eyes became a little cloudy.

Finally... Finally, he is not like his unreliable father, nor like his unreliable son.

The goal of becoming a naval admiral was indeed achieved through my own good teaching!

If that bastard Roger knew about this, he would definitely kneel down and cry and thank me, right?

Although someone might take advantage of the situation, judging from Ace's changes, the guy who put the hat on Roger is still a good guy.

At least it gave Ace the correct guidance.

Chapter 185: Contents of the New Era Newspaper

"Hahahaha!"

"Ace, Luffy, your beloved grandpa is back!"

The excited Cap pushed open the door of the tavern and opened his arms, waiting for a hug from his grandson.

But the next moment...

"The great devil Garp is back!"

"Luffy, run!"

The two kids jumped down from the bar, turned around and ran behind the bar.

"Ace, Luffy, that's the kitchen!"

Makino stretched out his hand, but it was obviously futile for the two agile little ghosts.

Seeing that his enthusiasm was in vain, Karp withdrew his hand somewhat embarrassedly and picked his nose: "It seems that the education of love is still not enough."

Makino bowed slightly: "Is Mr. Karp back from vacation to see his grandson again?"

Many villagers in the tavern stood up and greeted Cap, but only one person shrank his head, trying to hide his presence.

"What are you hiding from? Can you hide from it?"

An old man used his cane to knock out the man who had previously said he wanted to be Ace's father.

At this time, he had stopped drinking alcohol and started drinking juice instead. He lowered his head and looked a little aggrieved: "I've been beaten three times! I've even quit drinking, why don't you let me go?"

He raised his head slightly, his eyes met Garp's, and then he quickly looked back.

"Snapped."

Karp put a hand on his shoulder: "What's wrong? Is this a crime?"

The man hesitated and dared not speak clearly.

The villagers who were drinking immediately spoke up for him.

"This bastard wanted to be Ace's father not long ago, but Ace hit him on the head with two bottles. Later, he was beaten three more times in the middle of the night, and now he doesn't even dare to drink."

“Hahahaha… I heard that every time he was beaten he screamed and begged for mercy.”

"Mr. Karp is back from vacation. Maybe he will get beaten up again today."

……

Karp, who understood, chuckled and patted the middle-aged man: "You want to be my son?"

The man raised his head slightly and laughed dryly: "I dare not, Mr. Karp, I am just drunk and what I said is nonsense."

After glaring at him, Karp snorted and walked out.

He also had to educate his two grandsons. Besides, this guy had obviously been taught a lesson by Lu Jiu's new man, so he didn't need to do anything about it.

With Karp's perception, he quickly found the two little ghosts, picked them up, and brought them back to the yard of his residence, one in each hand.

Karp brought out a recliner from the house and put the two kids down. He said kindly, "So your dream is to become a general?"

Ace and little Luffy looked at each other.

"We want to be a general like Black Arm! To protect the people and be respected by everyone!"

"And me! I have to protect everyone too. I'm very powerful, and my fists are like bullets!"

Black wrist?

Garp looked puzzled. Why did this name sound so much like the nickname of that old man Zephyr?

"Who is Black Wrist? How do you know him?"

Ace put his hands on his hips and said, "Black Arm is a hero of the people. He protects the good people and is a great general who brings all pirates to justice!"

???

Garp was stunned. How come he didn't know that Zefa, who had been in the youth training for many years, had a reputation that had spread to the East China Sea?

At this time, little Luffy on the side snapped out a newspaper.

"True justice is to abide by the basic moral bottom line of mankind. The definition of good and evil should be determined by morality, not by those in power."

The short Luffy's voice hasn't changed yet, so these remarks made in his childish voice sound awkward.

Karp grabbed the newspaper and saw three big words "New Era" on it.

Below the title is a line of words: [The awakening of youth means the awakening of the times]

This part made Karp stunned.

The awakening of youth? The awakening of the times?

This is not the World Economic News, nor is it the newspaper produced by that bird Morgans.

So how did this thing come from the East China Sea? And how did it end up in Luffy's hands?

Just when Karp was about to ask about his grandson, he was attracted by the headline on the front page of the newspaper.

[Using the Four Emperors as bait to lure pirates into a fight]

The Four Emperors...

Soon, Karp was attracted by the title and began to read the text below.

In one photo, the pirates in the New World challenged Whitebeard, BiGMOM and Kaido, and after their failure, they saw the broken ships and the dead and wounded bodies.

What follows is the reason why the title of the Four Emperors was thrown out, as well as the analysis and conclusions therein.

It was explained in detail that those who attacked civilians and ordinary people on the island would not be able to obtain the title of the Four Emperors.

The purpose of throwing out the title of the Four Emperors, removing three of them and leaving only one is to make pirates fight with each other.

There is no point in attacking civilians and ordinary islands. The strength cannot be proven. The Navy and the World Government will not easily let the bait be eaten, and the pirates of the New World will not recognize such a pirate emperor.

The second half of the article clearly points out two ways to become the fourth emperor of pirates.

One is to challenge the three confirmed Four Emperors, namely Whitebeard, BiGMOM, and Kaido.

Not only did the newspaper mention the names, it also clearly analyzed the power of the three of the Four Emperors.

Whitebeard's three-color domineering and the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, and BiGMOM's domineering and the Soul-Soul Fruit, are specifically marked as having a chance of winning only if one does not have the slightest fear of them in one's heart, otherwise one's soul will be taken away.

Finally, there is the Immortal Kaido, a being that cannot be killed or even injured.

Any injury will be recovered in the next moment. Even if the head is cut off, sunk to the bottom of the sea, or burned in fire, it cannot be killed and will recover quickly.

Karp frowned and continued reading.

After introducing the three of the Four Emperors, the newspaper proposed a second way to become one of the Four Emperors.

That is, to complete the goal of throwing bait to the World Government, to eliminate a large number of pirates, to fight and fight among their own kind, and to prove that they have the ability to become one of the Four Emperors.

Massacring a town can only prove one's own cruelty. Pirates who attack ordinary people cannot prove their own strength. The World Government will not let the title of the so-called Four Emperors become a joke.

If a pirate group without strength is destroyed the day after becoming emperor, then the title of the so-called emperor will become a joke.

Once the name becomes a joke, no matter Whitebeard, BiGMOM or Kaido, they will no longer acknowledge the sweetness of this bait.

The descriptive style in the newspaper is very precise and easy to understand, and the words take up a large portion of the page, so it is not as simple as the summary.

Cap frowned.

He knew very well that anyone with a little common sense would be able to understand that what the newspaper said was true.

The true purpose of the Navy is clearly written here, and the pirates who massacred the town want to increase the bounty in order to obtain the title of the Four Emperors. The Navy and the World Government will definitely not do as they wish.

The reason was also made clear.

In this way, the newspaper actually achieved the purpose of being the bait for the Four Emperors.

However...at the same time, the content of this newspaper also clearly reveals the intention to protect ordinary people.

It makes some sense.

Garp flipped the newspaper over and saw several headlines on the second page: [Collision with BiGMOM, only Vice Admiral Sakaski survives]

The first half of the content describes in detail the sharp words and tenacious attitude of Vice Admiral Sakaski in the recent negotiations with BiGMOM in the Wan Guo waters.

But soon, the second half came as a slap in the face.

The strong image in the first half is directly transformed into a stupid image in the second half.

All the sailors on the warship were killed, and only Vice Admiral Sakaski escaped alone, and he kept calling for support with Den Den Mushi along the way.

In the end, he was knocked away by BiGMOM's sword and the matter ended there.

At the end of this page, Sakaski's specialness is mentioned, because he is a rare natural disaster devil fruit user, and his lava ability is very strong.

As the Navy's top combat force who is a candidate for admiral or even the designated future admiral, BiGMOM, who does not want to actually go to war with the Navy, naturally will not really kill this vice admiral.

But throughout the incident, the newspapers felt that the dead sailors needed attention.

[We are not naturalists, nor are we vice admirals, and certainly not future admirals. ]

[We are just ordinary people among the vast majority of people. Maybe one day we will become navy soldiers because we want to protect our hometown.]

[So for those ordinary sailors who died, perhaps we should think about this. Such meaningless deaths due to the recklessness of their superiors may also be our future.]

Cap quickly finished reading the contents of a page, his brows furrowed.

A new era...

The content about the Four Emperors helped the Navy achieve its goals to some extent, but soon the content about Sakaski directly pulled Sakaski's pants down.

The title really hits the nail on the head. It doesn't curse explicitly, but it points out that Wei Sakaski is still alive.

The word "living in misery" is really cleverly used...

Cap doesn't quite agree with this guy who has always insisted on absolute justice.

But on the other hand, the sacrifice of ordinary navy men was the most normal thing in Marinford's view.

This world belongs to the strong. Compared to the powerful domineering users and the countless people with special abilities in the Grand Line, ordinary marines are too fragile.

The warships cannot withstand the impact of the Conqueror's Haki, and the aftermath of the battle can destroy them.

Under such circumstances, too many grassroots navy soldiers die every day.

But this newspaper, for the first time, told all ordinary people the other side of this bloody reality.
