Chapter 1369 Outrageous Rumors(1/2)
Under the agitation of Luo Jie, a little butterfly, the war at the top of this world came to a completely different ending from the original work.
Both "Whitebeard Edward" and "Fire Fist Ace" who were supposed to die in this battle survived. The "Whitebeard Pirates" became famous around the world, and a large number of pirate groups came to join them.
Continuously, both strength and influence have increased significantly, and it has a vague posture of being the leader of the "Four Emperors".
As for the navy, they lost both their wives and their troops. Not only did they not kill the only bloodline of "Pirate King Roger", they also sank his old nest "Marinvando" into the sea. He couldn't even rebuild it, so he had to put it down.
The entire headquarters was relocated to the G1 branch in New World.
Soldiers are easy to replenish, but lost prestige and face are not so easy to regain.
Under the investigation and accountability of the World Government, the naval marshal "Sengoku" resigned, and one of the "three generals" was selected to be promoted to the new marshal.
"Kizaru", who likes to work and fish, voluntarily abstained. "Akainu" and "Aoji" competed for the position of marshal. They fought fiercely for ten days and ten nights on the uninhabited island "Punk Hassad", and "Akainu" finally won.
, "Ao Pheasant" ended dismally when he quit the navy.
Of course, this is all for later.
At this moment, the most direct impact is the change of ownership of the "Champaign Islands".
As the "Marinvando" sank to the bottom of the sea, the "Champaign Islands" naval branch, which lost the support of its headquarters, naturally became a lone force. In order to avoid being eaten by pirates for no reason, the navy ordered the evacuation of the island.
All garrisons.
All areas of the "Shampoo Islands" have now become lawless zones without any rules.
As long as there are people, helplessness and chaos are almost synonymous.
When Luo Jie and the "Whitebeard Pirates" fleet arrived at the "Shampoo Islands", pirate groups of all sizes on the island were fighting for their territory. The once bustling streets were already in a mess, and food could be seen everywhere.
The corpse of a pirate who was abandoned by his companions after losing the battle.
Under the instruction of "Whitebeard Edward", "Phoenix Malgao" transformed into a blue flame bird and fluttered its wings, planting a crescent beard and skull flag on the tallest landmark building in the "Champaign Islands" -
The top of the amusement park Ferris wheel.
This is a common practice for pirates to seize territory and declare sovereignty. If no one breaks the flag within a certain period of time, it means that everyone acquiesces that the island is protected by the pirate group, and any burning or killing of civilians on the island will
Looting will be regarded as a declaration of war against the pirate group.
As the Crescent Beard and Skull Flag fluttered in the wind, the sounds of fighting on the island disappeared almost instantly.
Even among the budding supernovas, no one would be stupid enough to compete for territory with an established maritime king like "Whitebeard Edward" before they are still young.
"Boy Dire, would you like to plant your flag next to my flag?"
The officers of the "Whitebeard Pirates" were all surprised when they heard the words "Whitebeard Edward".
This way of planting the flag means that the island is protected by the "Whitebeard Pirates", but the protection fee belongs entirely to Luo Jie.
In the new world, most of the alliance fleets under the "Whitebeard Pirates" have one or two exclusive islands as a stable source of income for their fleets. But the problem is - these are not ordinary islands;
"Champaign Islands"!
This is the end point of the first half of the entire Grand Line. As long as the number of pirates who go to the New World to pursue their dreams continues, the wealth of the entire first half of the Grand Line will continue to flow here.
The annual protection fee income of such an island is probably more than that of a large country with a population of tens of millions!
Although they were surprised and even envious, none of the many captains and captains of the "Whitebeard Pirates" jumped out to object. After all, they knew very well that if Luo Jie hadn't planned and arranged everything behind the scenes, they would never have done it this time.
It is impossible to escape the dragnet set by the navy in "Marinvando".
Any favor must be repaid, and every merit must be rewarded. This is a rule of conduct that no pirate group would have any objection to.
"No, I still prefer freedom."
Luo Jie decisively refused without thinking.
There are not many opportunities for "Whitebeard Edward" to owe a favor, and the value of such a favor far exceeds the billions in annual protection fees for the "Champaign Islands".
What's more, he has no plans to form a large fleet of thousands of people. With the current scale of nine people and one dog, the 5 billion robbed from the "Drum Kingdom" alone can't be spent, let alone the tens of billions worth of ships.
Sky Island Gold.
Luo Jie can now even face his true feelings and say that - I'm not interested in money.
"Whitebeard Edward" laughed heartily. He seemed to have guessed that Luo Jie would not accept his gift, and did not give in again.
According to the rules of pirates, a banquet must be held to celebrate the victory.
That night, almost all the drinks and ingredients on the market in the "Champaody Islands" were exhausted, and the chefs from all the restaurants were temporarily requisitioned. A grand banquet was held in the Bubble Amusement Park that lasted for three days and three nights.
After all, Luo Jie is not a pirate in the true sense. Even if he is temporarily infected by the rough and turbulent atmosphere of drinking big bowls of wine and eating large pieces of meat, after a continuous carnival, there will always be an inexplicable feeling in his heart that is different from the whole world.
A feeling of emptiness and alienation.
After a symbolic whole day of drinking with "Whitebeard Edward" and "Fire Fist Ace" and others, the next day the banquet went into the night, Luo Jie used the excuse of being too drunk to return to the hotel room early.
.
The core members of the "Whitebeard Pirates" all stay in the best "Mangrove Hotel" in the "Shampoo Islands". This is a luxury building built on the trunk of a mangrove tree in Area 39. Looking out from the window, it is not far away.
Everywhere is a brightly lit bubble playground, and the scenery is dreamlike.
Just after passing the corner of the corridor, Luo Jie saw the "Big Stomach Girl Bonnie" dressed as a delinquent girl leaning against the door with her arms folded, looking impatient as if she had been waiting for a long time.
"We agreed to meet here at noon today, but you have been drinking until now. Do you think I am young and easy to deceive?"
Luo Jie was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that he had vaguely mentioned this to "Big Stomach Girl Bonnie" last night when he was drunk, and then... he forgot about her.
"Adults always have a lot of entertainment that they can't refuse."
Luo Jie would never waste his feelings on someone he couldn't or didn't want to conquer, and he didn't bother to calm down a 10-year-old girl's random temper. He put on an elder's face and reached out to rub "Bonnie"'s head and looked at her.
He looked like he was about to have an attack but suppressed it, and he couldn't help but laugh.
After opening the door and entering the room, "Boni" sat cross-legged on the bed without any image, raised her head and glared at Luo Jie: "I have done what I promised you, what about what you promised me?"
Luo Jie pushed the table away and cleared a space in the bedroom. The dog "Xiao Ke", who was as inseparable as a pendant, opened his huge mouth full of sharp teeth and spit out the body of "Tyrant Bear".
"dad!"
"Bonnie" lost control of her emotions and could no longer maintain her adult appearance. She turned back into a 10-year-old child and cried loudly on the already cold corpse of "Tyrant Bear".
Suddenly, the purple-red long-haired loli stood on the spot and reached out to grab Luo Jie.
Luo Jie was on guard, grabbed "Bonnie"'s wrist, twisted her arm behind her back, and pushed her to the ground without mercy.
Boom!
The door to the room was kicked open. The blond female secretary "Kalifa" next door obviously heard the fighting in the room. When she saw clearly what Luo Jie and "Boni" looked like at this moment, she subconsciously reached out and pushed
He lowered the gold-rimmed glasses on his nose.
After a moment of silence, she calmly hung the "Do Not Disturb" sign on the door handle, exited the room and closed the door.
Luo Jie: "..."
What the heck are you trying to avoid! Nothing happened at first, but closing the door and putting up a sign like this made people feel like something really happened in the room!
The simple-minded "Bonnie" obviously didn't realize what was wrong with the two people's current appearance. She struggled and said angrily: "Is this what you promised to help me find my father? What I want is a living father, not a corpse!"
"
"Before you denounce me, you'd better take a look at your father's body."
Luo Jie let go of the hand holding "Boni"'s wrist, and the purple-red-haired little loli examined the body of "Tyrant Bear" doubtfully, her face becoming extremely ugly.
The entire body of "Tyrant Bear", it can be said that except for the brain, all the internal organs have been hollowed out and replaced with various machines.
"I admit that I killed your father... Please calm down and listen to what I have to say, and believe in the future you."
"Big Stomach Girl Bonnie" changed back to her adult appearance again, holding back tears and gritting her teeth: "If I hadn't always believed in that future, I would kill you now."
Luo Jie nodded and continued: "The reason why I did this is because I have a secret technique that can resurrect the dead, and it does not require a complete body. You should know that this means that I can restore your father to the state where he did not accept
The normal state before the transformation.”
"Big Stomach Girl Bonny" finally calmed down after hearing this.
The fact that the dead can be resurrected is too sensational, but no one can tell how many kinds of devil fruits there are in the world, and she cannot say with certainty that there must be no ability to resurrect the dead.
"Although I can resurrect a person's body, I can't retrieve a person's past memories... You also know your father's situation. His memory has been completely erased. Even if he is resurrected, it is definitely not what you want.
That kind of result.”
Although "Bonnie" is only ten years old, her personality is very precocious, and her thinking is already almost the same as that of an adult.
Therefore, she knew very well that if her father could indeed be resurrected, then the scene described by Luo Jie would definitely happen.
What she wants is a future where she can live and laugh with her father, not a future where she can keep an empty shell without a heart and silently recall the past.
"I can feel that the future I want has not disappeared." "Bonnie"'s expression softened, and she reluctantly looked away from "Tyrant Bear"'s face, and said firmly: "What should I do?
Do? I am willing to do anything as long as it can make daddy return to his original self."
Luo Jie had made so many preparations, but he was actually waiting for "Big Stomach Girl Bonnie" to take the initiative to say these words.
"As far as I know, before your father "Tyrant Big Bear" was completely wiped out of his self-consciousness, he used his [Meat Ball Fruit] ability to pop up his past memories and stored them in "Future Island Egghead"
Somewhere in the world, if that memory can be obtained, theoretically he can be able to completely regain himself."
"So, I can give you two choices - one is to go to the "Future Island" in the new world, retrieve that memory and come to me again, but I must remind you that with the strength of you and your men, in the
To be continued...
