The Great Voyage: The Props Master on the Straw Hat Ship

Jin frowned, and the thought first popped into his mind, but he quickly shook his head.

"No, that's not right."

He denied it there, saying, "I just heard that the Kid Pirates failed in their challenge against the Red-Haired Pirates and met a miserable end, and now they're here with us."

"If you calculate the time, the period in between didn't even give them time or energy to recover from their injuries, so how could they possibly have the extra energy to deal with us?"

"Moreover, Shanks was the target of the Kid Pirates' relentless pursuit before, so it's impossible for him to easily switch sides with us."

"Not to mention an alliance with the Straw Hat Pirates; there's absolutely no interaction between the two sides."

"So... was their arrival really just a coincidence?!"

King frowned and pondered, while Kaido himself had already taken action.

"Uro ro ro ro!!!"

He suddenly threw his head back and laughed loudly, "No matter what their intentions were when they came here..."

"Whether you want to challenge me and take my position and kills, or simply happen to be stranded here and want to rest, that's fine too~"

boom! !

He slammed the spiked club heavily into the ground, creating a huge crater.

"But now that they've come this far, they can't just leave as they please!!!"

Kaido grinned, and his hair instantly began to flow freely without any wind.

The next second, his upper body suddenly transformed into a long, swimming body covered in bluish-black scales.

"Just stay here! Ura-ra-ra-ra-ra!!"

Hearty laughter filled the air.

"Let's go..."

Seeing his elder brother's ferocious dragon body soaring through the heavens and earth, riding the clouds and mist as he plunged into the dark sea of ​​clouds.

Jin calmly withdrew his gaze.

In his view, as long as his elder brother personally took action, there would basically be no more problems.

What's more, they're just two mere once-a-year supernovas.

Although the outside world is gradually labeling this group of supernovas as the "Evil Era".

After the Marineford War, Whitebeard, the strongest man in the world, returned to his peak.

To everyone's surprise, this old-fashioned ship, which was already in a terrible state but still had some nails left, was actually repaired!

Thus, the former world's strongest man at his peak was once again displayed on this vast ocean.

Moreover, the Straw Hat Pirates' performance in the Marineford War demonstrates that the future of the pirate world is bright.

It's practically a recreation of the glory days of Whitebeard, Roger, and Shiki in their youth!

At the age of seventeen or eighteen, he is already capable of fighting against generals. If he grows up, he will cause quite a stir on the sea.

And~

Most importantly, on his pirate ship are Link the Props Maker, Roronoa Zoro the Pirate Hunter, Sanji the Black Leg...

And so on. The strength and potential displayed by these people have almost exceeded everyone else's expectations.

It can be said that every aspect of the Straw Hat Pirates has shown is both shocking and frightening.

Pirates of the old era have regained their glory, while pirates of the new era are rising against the tide, determined to create their own era.

Generally speaking, eras should be a cycle of old and new, but in the current world, both the old and new eras are shining brightly, determined to create a different future on this vast ocean!

It is precisely based on the current situation that we can feel Whitebeard's return to his peak and the amazing potential of the Straw Hat Pirates.

Some busybodies have even dubbed this era "the age of extreme evil"!

Whitebeard, along with the members of the Straw Hat Pirates, deserve to be on the list.

Furthermore, to better reflect the name and the current time of year, some well-meaning people have also categorized many others as part of the "evil era."

Besides Whitebeard and the Straw Hat Pirates, Trafalgar Law, the captain of the Heart Pirates who had followed the Straw Hat Pirates through the Impel Down turmoil and the Marineford War, is also honorably listed.

And then there's that legendary pirate who also shone brightly during the Impel Down turmoil, his identity revealed to the world. Although he accepted the offer and became a Shichibukai, he's still considered to be carrying a dark secret and harboring ulterior motives.

Buggy, the Clown King of "Thousand Ryos of Transformation" and a crew member on the Pirate King's ship, is also listed among them by the world.

Besides these four most classic and recognized figures.

To demonstrate the wickedness of this title, people have listed all of this year's supernovas on it, one by one.

However, in their eyes and minds, they firmly believed that these Supernovas were not even worthy of carrying the Straw Hat Pirates' shoes.

Their addition is merely icing on the cake, adding a little decorative embellishment; it has little impact.

·· 0 flowers requested ··· ····

It was precisely this incidental expansion of the number of personnel that brought about such a significant impact.

However, from the perspective of someone at a high level like King, the only groups worthy of attention are the Straw Hat Pirates and Whitebeard.

In fact, if it weren't for Luffy's amazing achievements that made him a force to be reckoned with, King wouldn't have given him much attention at his age.

Therefore, Jhin showed little interest in guys like Kidd and Hawkins.

In other words, his older brother Kaido appreciates capable people and is willing to give them opportunities.

Otherwise, if it were him, he would have taken care of not only these two intruders, but also that Touyama bandit gang's Shutenmaru from the Kuri region!

"Although Brother Kaido said to let Orochi have his own headaches, some basic actions still need to be taken."

"The leaders of the real fight teams in each region also need to get moving and report relevant information about the Straw Hat Pirates in a timely manner."

"Is Holmed in charge of the Kuri region? Let's contact him again."

As the chief steward of the Beasts Pirates, King faithfully fulfilled his duties while respecting Kaido's instructions.

However~~~

He and Kaido never imagined that Luffy and his crew would cause so much trouble that it would exceed their expectations.

Things got increasingly interesting after Kidd and Hawkins landed on the island from different directions.

~~~~~~~~~

Linghou is a frigid, snow-covered region with virtually no inhabitants.

Even the Beasts Pirates didn't specifically send any of their members to be stationed here.

Because there is really no need to guard or rule over this place.

Before Orochi ruled Wano Country, although the land was harsh and cold, it was still possible to survive there, and there were quite a few people living there.

With the addition of the original daimyo and the management of Shimotsuki Gyuuma, things were able to flourish.

Unfortunately, Shimotsuki Ushimaru was defeated, imprisoned, and died, and Kaido opened factories in Wano Country, polluting the environment and conscripting labor.

Even the battle locations chosen on the island were all in this area.

As a result, the area around Linghou was completely turned into a desolate wasteland.

Only the northern cemetery standing tall in the north testifies to the former glory of this region and this country.

"Is this the place called Ringo?"

Link walked on the pure white snow, dispelling the lightning that had caused his teleportation to explode around him.

Kuri is located at the westernmost part of Wano Country, while Ringo is located at the easternmost part of Wano Country, with a distance spanning an entire city between them.

However, compared to Link's lightning-fast movement speed, it's practically nothing.

584 Ushimaru!! Aokiji's attack, a condensed ice blade! A forty-meter-long sword!!

The conversation with Kozuki Sukiyaki revolved around how he was deceived by Kurozumi Higurashi and Kurozumi Orochi.

And later, he was imprisoned, and in a desperate struggle, he managed to escape on the verge of death.

There are two main reasons why Kozuki Sukiyaki was not killed.

One reason is that the Kozuki family forged the Poneglyphs and had some understanding of the text on them.

Especially after Kozuki Oden was killed, the only person who understood the meaning of the text in the Poneglyphs and could decipher its contents was Kozuki Sukiyaki.

Regardless of whether Kozuki Sukiyaki is willing to serve Kaido or not, at least having him in hand is better than anything else.

In addition, Kaido was also very curious and interested in the reasons why Wano Country had been closed off from the world for so many years.

In his view, there must be some unspeakable secret hidden behind this.

Kaido also had a certain interest in exploring secrets, so he spared his life.

Only when Kaido spoke up could Orochi reluctantly leave Kozuki Sukiyaki behind.

Of course, it's also because the overall situation is already set, so even if Kozuki Sukiyaki "revives," it definitely won't cause much of a stir.

It was because Kozuki Sukiyaki was able to survive that it didn't lack food and drink for one person.

Then, when the guards were lax, he escaped, severely injured and barely alive.

Link had long been able to decipher the text on the historical record.

Link is also very clear about the secret behind Wano Country's isolationist policies over the years.

The historical text I read earlier in Alabasta clearly states:

"The Ancient Weapon [Pluto] Uranus is located in Wano Country."

That's right, the ancient weapon "Pluto" is hidden on this island.

The Kozuki family's rule over Wano Country was also a way to keep this secret, which is why they closed the country off from the outside world.

It can be said that their ancestors have devoted themselves to the safety of the country and its people, and this tradition has been passed down to the generation of Kozuki Sukiyaki.

Unfortunately, it is easier to conquer a country than to govern it, and Kozuki Sukiyaki ultimately failed to protect his country.

Moreover, his son and daughter-in-law lost their lives in the war.

The loss of the nation and the tragic loss of a child brought immense grief to Kozuki Sukiyaki, in addition to self-blame and guilt.

As a result, his face looked much more weathered than that of an average elderly person; although he appeared robust, he had long since become frail and weak.

Similarly, after recalling those painful memories from the past, Kozuki Sukiyaki was also drunk.

Hmm, I got drunk from drinking tea.

Tea doesn't intoxicate, people intoxicate themselves.

After Kozuki Sukiyaki passed out drunk, Link settled him down and then came to Ringo.

"Oh my, does Wano Country have a climate like this too?"

Ice crystals were released from Link's lightning, and Aokiji's icy body also solidified and appeared out of thin air.

He had his hands in his pockets, feeling quite at ease in this environment.

Yes, you can transform your body elements into ice blocks and then attach them to the other person's body or objects to achieve the effect of movement.

According to Aokiji himself, he and Kizaru coordinated this move very well, and it's unknown how many times they teleported together.

Especially before they became admirals, when the two worked together, they relied on Kizaru's speed to quickly arrive at the scene and solve many troublesome situations.

This time was no exception; they arrived here together with the help of Link's lightning.

“Is this a cemetery?”

Aokiji looked at the tombstone standing in the snow and ice, and at the marks on it that seemed to have been pierced by swords before, and let out a soft exclamation.

If there were swords stuck in the tombstone before, it would look exactly like the tomb of a samurai swordsman.

"All the famous samurai of Wano Country throughout history are buried in this place."

Link looked at the somewhat dilapidated cemetery and shook his head.

"It's a pity that twenty-one years ago, Moria robbed the tomb and destroyed most of it."

"Otherwise, the cemetery here would be even more magnificent."

Twenty-one years ago, a confident and arrogant Moria arrived here, and it was here that he fought a great battle with Kaido.

But in the end, he lost the battle miserably, and before leaving, he even dug up the cemetery there.
