Chapter 141: Banner, the five old stars are silent when they see it
The devils have entered the village...well, pirates have entered the village.
Facts have proved that most pirates are feared and disgusted by others. As soon as the Lion, flying the pirate flag, approached the dock area, the people on Jarbaro Island scattered like birds and beasts one after another as if they were running for their lives.
By the time Renn and the others came ashore and arrived at the village, they found that ten rooms in the village were already empty.
At dusk, the sea breeze blew through the bluestone-paved alley, and there were only sporadic crowing of chickens and dogs, and the sound of door panels shaking and creaking.
Looking at the desolate and deserted scene in the village, Wen Xi scratched his head and said:
"It seems that the villagers have very rich experience in dealing with harassment by scum."
Crew: "..."
But no, everyone ran away.
Ren nodded in approval. He saw that when a pirate ship was approaching, people on high alert immediately beat gongs and drums to sound the alarm.
Then, the villagers immediately mobilized, put down their work, and went into the dense forest behind the village.
The forest has dense vegetation, is filled with mist, and is very moist, so it is not afraid of fire. There are also some specially built hiding places with dry food and water stored in them...
It can be said that the islands that have survived in the New World all have some unique skills.
Looking at the skillful, deft and somewhat graceful movements of the villagers when they dive into the dense forest, you can tell that this is a traditional skill of this village.
The small village is poor and relies on fishing and hunting to make a living. There is basically no money and water to speak of, and pirates rarely visit it.
Even if they land, not many pirates are willing to stay here and spend ten days and a half to dig out a group of ordinary people in the forest.
At this time, nine out of ten houses in the village were empty, with only a few old, weak, sick and disabled people with handicapped legs and feet left.
They looked at the pirates entering the village with a little fear, but more of a numbness and indifference.
You're going to die, if you want to take it, just take it. If you see any supplies in the village, just move them away... That's probably what it means.
The village chief did not run away, but even brought people to greet him.
"Hello, my lords."
Accompanied by several young men, an old man in his 50s walked towards him.
His hair was half white, but his figure was very strong. His weather-beaten face was now filled with a warm and flattering smile, but the vigilance in his eyes could not be hidden from Ren.
Wen Xi smiled kindly: "Old gentleman, don't be restrained, we are not bad people."
village head:"……"
It would be weird to believe you.
"By the way, they are all rough guys. Are there no women in this village?"
Wen Xi looked around, but he didn't find a woman. There was an old lady with gray hair and a baby girl who was still sucking milk.
village head:"……"
What nonsense are you talking about? Of course all the women between the ages of 6 and 60 are gone.
There is no need to doubt the moral integrity of pirates. A group of big men have been wandering on the sea for a long time, and even looking at the sows, they feel that they have beautiful features.
As long as they are not shockingly ugly, no young woman will get in front of a group of pirates who have just disembarked from the ship.
"My lords, if you need anything, just ask, but the island is really poor and there are not many things. Please understand."
The village chief had a flattering smile on his face and said humbly.
Renn raised his eyebrows and looked at him for a while, a little surprised:
"With your strength, there is no need to be so cautious, right?"
Although it was well hidden, he could still feel that the blood in the old man's body was as vigorous as an ox, and there was a rather surging armed domineering energy flowing through his limbs.
He is tough, getting stronger with age, and there is a sharp edge in his eyes. He has definitely seen bloodshed, and his strength is no worse than that of some ordinary navy lieutenants.
The village chief was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly:
"As expected of a bloodthirsty swordsman, he really has a vicious vision. I can't hide this little trick from you."
"I really do have you, old man."
Wen Xicai reacted and hugged the village chief's shoulders, "He also pretends to be a pig and eats the tiger. If some little pirates come in stupidly and dare to cause trouble, wouldn't they be asking for death?"
To be praised by the captain, one must at least be at the level of a lieutenant general.
Don't take the Vice Admiral seriously, this kind of strength is enough to deal with most pirates.
The 43 captains under the White Group, such as "Big Vortex Spider" Scuyard, "Thunder King" Makugai, and "Wandering Knight" Doma, are only vice admirals. Although they cannot walk sideways in the new world,
But guarding a small island is more than enough.
The village chief was hugged by Wen Xi and shook his head with a wry smile:
"There are so many masters in the new world. If you want to live a stable life, it's better to keep a low profile."
"From your tone, did you ever live at sea?"
"Yes, it's just that he didn't achieve anything famous. Compared with the people who sunk Marinefando, he's not worth mentioning."
The village chief sighed with sadness on his face.
Back then, I went to sea with great ambition and wanted to dominate, but the reality was too cruel.
I laughed up to the sky and went out, crying for my father and mother and escaping back...don't mention it.
"Ceglie, long time no see, where is my boat?"
Barrett walked over and after seeing his old acquaintance, he grinned and showed his neat white teeth.
"Haha, I've long heard that you were released from prison and joined the Lionheart Pirates."
Village chief Cegli was very happy. He looked at the burly Barrett up and down for a while and said with emotion, "You were so crazy at the time. To be honest, I thought I would never see you again."
21 years ago, after Roger died, Barrett (22 years old) lost his purpose and began to run rampant at sea, causing a big disturbance. The Navy finally launched a demon-slaying order against him, and even Garp and Sengoku were dispatched.
Barrett had a heroic duel with the Navy, but was ultimately defeated due to exhaustion of energy.
His ship "Catapult" was severely damaged. Without the Fusion Fruit, it was just a pile of junk. The navy did not take it away as a trophy.
Ren asked Tianyaksha to search and found out that after the war, a man named Chegli took away the badly damaged ship...
"I brought the ship back and threw it under the cliff of the back mountain. It was originally a pile of scrap metal, which the navy did not like. Now it is probably rusted by the wind and rain. Of course, for you, it can still be used... let
Let him take you there."
The village chief, Chegelie, kept talking, beckoning a young man to come over and take Barrett to the back mountain to find a boat.
Barrett nodded and was in a good mood. As long as the frame and materials were there, he could easily repair broken metal with his fruit ability.
He followed the young man leading the way and said at the same time:
"Call the villagers back. Don't worry, no one will make trouble here."
Chegli glanced at Wen Xi, Kalifa and the others, hesitated, and said, "That's fine."
In his eyes, Barrett is a lunatic and a fighting maniac, but he is not someone who would embarrass ordinary villagers. Since he said there was no problem, he still has some trust as an acquaintance.
He also didn't think that the swordsman Ren would be so bored that he would loot a barren island. That would be too low.
One hour later.
As night fell, bonfires were lit on the grass outside the village, and the villagers and pirates gathered together to have a banquet.
The firelight jumped, dispersing the darkness, the aroma of barbecue was wafting, the beer glasses collided and foamed, people sang and danced, and the noise continued.
The atmosphere was very good, and the village chief was completely relieved. It was embarrassing to say that most of the meat and wine at the banquet were provided by pirates.
Renn drank two glasses and went back to study the Zhenzhen Fruit.
This island really doesn't have much to see. If Barrett's ship hadn't been here, the Lionheart Pirates wouldn't have taken this somewhat remote route.
The rest of the people were still having fun. Wen Xi drank heavily, put one arm around the neck of the village chief Chegre, and said with a smile:
"Old village chief, this island does not belong to any big force, right?"
"Well, if I have a backer, I don't need to be worried every day."
If he could be covered by the flag of the Four Emperors, and if he could match the strength of a vice admiral, he could live a comfortable life.
"This is what I don't understand. This place is very close to Whitebeard's territory. Why didn't you think of a way to hang his flag before?"
Wen Xi said with a puzzled look on his face, "It's so unpleasant to always pretend to be a grandson and make the villagers fearful and hide."
"This, this..." The village chief looked a little embarrassed and hesitated.
"Is there anything unspeakable?"
"That's not true. It's just that more than twenty years ago, as soon as I went to sea, I went straight to Whitebeard's lair and threatened to take off his dog's head..."
Wen Xi: "..."
(￣△￣；), That’s awesome, old village chief, I didn’t expect you to have such a glorious past.
The position of the Four Emperors is really hot on the butt. I can't imagine how many people have threatened to take Whitebeard's head over the years.
"How many fights did you have with Whitebeard back then?"
"He didn't miss a single move. I didn't even see him. He was chopped down by the foil Bista. If he hadn't run so fast, his head would have been moved."
"..."
I overestimated you, I thought you had a few fights with Peak Whitebeard.
"Then after you wash your hands in the golden basin, just lower your head and admit your mistake. Whitebeard won't be the same as you, right?"
"I thought so too, but I said in front of Huijian that only a grandson would treat Whitebeard as his son, and Whitebeard is just as good as my son."
The village chief drank until his face turned red.
Back then, it seems that Foil also invited him to join the team, and this is how he responded.
Wen Xi: "..."
(￢_￢;), then you are really awesome if you didn’t get beaten to death.
Needless to say what happened next, after saying those words, the village chief himself did not have the shame to ask the Whitebeard Pirates to protect his home island.
Fortunately, this island is very barren, so his fists are pretty good, and he has always been a man with his tail between his legs, so he managed to survive until today.
"Well, Mr. Cegli, do you think it's okay if I plant the flag of the Lionheart Pirates here?"
Wen Xi rubbed his hands, revealing his fox tail.
No matter how small a mosquito's legs are, they are still meat. An ownerless island still has a few talented people on it, so it is not a loss if it is designated as territory.
Village chief:⊙▽⊙
"Okay, of course! I'll prepare the flagpole and hang it up."
Cegli was overjoyed and agreed without any hesitation.
Why should you say no to pie in the sky?
The swordsman Wren is considered by even Whitebeard to be the strongest man in the world.
He is no longer the stupid young man he used to be. Life is not easy, and the fierce man sheds tears. If he hadn't offended the Whitebeard Pirates to death, he would have wanted to hug him.
After the villagers heard the news, they accepted it happily.
The new world is too dangerous. Without a backer, your family may be destroyed at any time.
The Lionheart Pirates' reputation as the King of Demons is no less impressive than that of Kaido and Big Mom. Even a small place like them knows this fierce man.
Things went smoothly. Half an hour later, a flagpole was erected in the most eye-catching position on the small slope at the head of the village.
The moonlight was bright, and a pirate flag could be seen fluttering in the evening wind on the top of the flagpole. Because it was night, the pattern consisting of a white skull + two blood-stained swords inserted upside down + a circle of golden lion's mane could not be clearly seen.
However, all the villagers know that this island will have an owner in the future.
Seeing the flags fluttering in the wind, not only the villagers, but also the people of the Lionheart Pirates were a little excited. Barrett, Shiru of the Rain, Nana, Kalifa... everyone had different expressions, and they felt somewhat emotional in their hearts.
It has begun, taking the first step on the road to maritime supremacy.
As the person who hung the flag, Wen Xi raised his arms with tears in his eyes:
"Friends and brothers, from here on, we will be invincible, conquer all, and sweep away all the heroes... Everything on the road ahead will become the jewels emblazoned on our crown!"
He, Wen Xi, got the first piece of territory for the Lion Heart Pirates!
Oops, he's really awesome, so speak quickly and show off.
"My blood is boiling with excitement."
"No, looking at that flying flag, I feel like my body is full of power, and I can kill Kaido with one punch."
"Whoever has yellow urine, go and wake him up quickly."
"..."
The crew members were talking a lot, and most of them were very excited.
Female secretary Khalifa looked up at the pirate flag and shook her head:
"This world is so crazy. Two months ago, I was still arresting the son of the devil. Now, I am in cahoots with the king of the devil."
Stussy: “…”
Very strange?
A week ago, she was cp0 and a pillar of the government, but now she has become the maid of the devil king, helping him do evil.
On the wasteland on the other side, Shiliu held a cigarette in his mouth, watching Barrett busy in front of a pile of scrap metal, and asked:
"How long will it take to use? Today is just the beginning, there will be countless battles in the next few months."
This place was taken without a single soldier, but it was not that easy at the front. The newspaper revealed that the territory under Whitebeard's command had become a mess, and in some places there were even rivers of blood.
Without the tiger's deterrence, the monkeys all came out to cause trouble.
"Three days."
The Catapult was a submarine that looked like a whale. It was loaded with guns, shells, swords, swords and halberds. The damage was very serious. There were cracks, holes and rust everywhere, and moss even grew in some places.
Barrett held scrap metal and rubble in his hands, pressed it against the hull of the ship, and then activated his Fusion Fruit ability to smooth out a crack and repair it.
It was very magical, the place became as smooth as new and glowed with a silvery metallic light.
The Fusion Fruit has the ability to arrange and combine all objects to make them into one.
It can also fuse inorganic objects it touches with its own body. Not only that, but it can also combine inorganic objects such as scrap metal and gravel and rearrange them to create new weapons.
"Then I'll wait for you for three days."
Nana's dragon eyes flashed with blue light, and she pouted, "I hope your "large bullet form"
"If you boast so powerfully, it's not unreasonable for us to come here specially and stay for three days."
"hehe."
Barrett grinned, looking very tough, and said, "You will see my true strength, so there is no need to rush. With all due respect, except for the captain, everyone else in the New World is a rotten fish.
."
Nana: "..."
Including her, right?
Yu Zhiliu: "..."
Okay, arrogant enough.
Nana said with an expressionless face: "It is not convenient to have a civil war at the moment. When we get to Whitebeard's territory, we will compare the results to determine the seats. It will be clear at a glance who has the bigger fist and who blows more blows."
Yuzhi Xiliu's eyes were bloodthirsty: "That's exactly what I meant. I don't believe how much a broken ship can improve your strength."
Barrett: "Hmm."
Too lazy to talk nonsense, he snorted to show his disdain.
Despite the internal disharmony, on Jarbaro Island, Barrett found a ship and became stronger, and the Lionheart Pirates also took their first step.
…………
New World, Baldigo Island.
This island of white soil is located on the Great Channel, surrounded by yellow sand and rocks. It is very desolate. The natural shelter of the dust and sand also makes the island relatively hidden.
Few people know that this is the headquarters of the revolutionary army.
At this time, many ships were moored at the island's dock area, and soldiers from the Revolutionary Army were busy moving boxes of goods from the ships to the island.
This kind of lively scene has not happened for a long time.
Even though the weather was scorching hot and heat waves were billowing in the air, the sweaty soldiers still had happy smiles on their faces.
What a great harvest.
The cp organization is backed by the World Government, which is too rich. In each stronghold they have breached, there is gold and silver, jewelry, banknotes, cultural relics and antiques, guns and cannons, famous knives and devil fruits...the amount is dizzying.
Not to mention anything else, no less than 20 Devil Fruits have been seized in the past few days.
These Devil Fruits were originally used to cultivate and reward the new generation of spies who are outstanding in the CP agency, but now they are all advantageous to the revolutionary army.
Although they are all very common types, they are enough to make people jealous.
You can see this just by looking at their leader, Long's reaction.
He, who was usually stern and unsmiling, now had a smile as crazy as a chrysanthemum...
"Tsk, tsk, CP agencies are being slaughtered as fat sheep, this world is too crazy."
Nicole Robin looked at the bustling scene in the dock area, adjusted the sun hat on her head, shook her head and sighed.
Although Sleeping Ancient Town was hidden, she was quickly found by the revolutionary army after Ren revealed her location to Monkey D. Long.
Yesterday at noon, she was brought to this white earth island by the revolutionary army cadre Kerra.
Then she learned that the leader of the Revolutionary Army, Long, along with Chief of Staff Sabo, three army commanders and many cadres, were attacking people in the CP organization all over the New World.
Because of the loss of Lone Wolf, Stussy and a group of elite backbones, the CP organization in the New World region was almost vulnerable and was beaten to the point of crying by the revolutionary army.
Long was very ruthless, pursuing the "Three Lights" policy, killing everyone, burning everyone, and robbing everyone.
Wherever the revolutionary army passed, locusts passed by, leaving not even a hair behind for the World Government.
The commotion was so big that the news could no longer be hidden. The revolutionary army's attack on the CP organization was also revealed by some well-informed newspapers.
"You really can't sit still, little man."
Robin looked at the newspapers he was flipping through, the corners of his mouth raised.
"Shocked! The five old stars were silent after watching it, the world's most ferocious criminal + the world's most ferocious pirate, the tragedy of the CP organization"
"The Demon King joins forces with the most vicious criminals, and the 800-year rule of the World Government has been cast into a haze!"
"Exclusively revealed that the world government is preparing to hold a world conference in advance to deal with the increasingly severe maritime situation."
It can be seen that this time the world government really cannot sit still.
Robin was suspicious. Not to mention looking at Silence, Wu Laoxing probably wouldn't be able to eat in the past few days.
Many newspapers use two accompanying pictures.
Above, Monkey D. Dragon is wearing a green cloak and his face is covered with blood-colored square tattoos, smiling ferociously.
Below is Francis D. Lane's classic black and white picture of "The Advent of the Demon King" with the tsunami about to submerge Marinefando as the background.
The two D clans, the most ferocious pirates + the most ferocious criminals, this terrifying combination really shocked the world. These headlines even suppressed the heat of the war, which shows how sensational it was.
Even Robin was stunned when he saw it.
Dragon + Swordsman Ren, Revolutionary Army + Lionheart Pirates, this is really scary, it scares the big guys like Cyborg Kong and the Five Old Stars to the point where they have to convene a world conference in advance to deal with it.
Moreover, the recent situation at sea has indeed been too chaotic. The general was defeated, the navy headquarters was sunk, the revolutionary army swept away the power network of the New World CP organization, the Lionheart Pirates plotted to dominate, Amazon Lily gathered more than 30,000 troops, Kaido
Gathering the troops back to defend the country of Wano, Big Mom's fleet is ready to move...
It gives people the feeling that if there is just one fuse, the whole world will be filled with blood.
Throughout eight hundred years of history, such chaotic situations are extremely rare.
Anyone with knowledge can detect the coming storm.
This is an unprecedented change, even the era of Rocks' dominance and Roger's ascension to the top cannot be compared with it.
To a certain extent, Renn has replaced Blackbeard's position as the villain boss, even doing it better than Teach and causing more trouble.
"Indeed, this world is too crazy."
Next to the sinister queen, Kaku, a leader of the Lionheart Pirates, wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at the Revolutionary Army soldiers loading and unloading goods in the dock area with a sigh on his face.
"Nico Robin, two months ago, we were still capturing you, the son of a devil, to fight against the Straw Hat Pirates.
Two months later, we stood at the headquarters of the Revolutionary Army and watched the World Government’s jokes together.”
Robin: "..."
Indeed, this is so nonsense.
On the Judiciary Island, both sides were almost furious, and as a result... I felt so busy and lonely.
In the end, I realized that everyone was the same person.
"It's so hot, this place is broken."
The werewolf Gabra stuck out his tongue to dissipate heat and sweated profusely. He only felt the soles of his shoes stepping on the white sand burning his feet. He wiped the sweat from his forehead, turned to look at Robin who was taking out his makeup box, and said, "Son of the devil, I have something.
I want to ask you something."
"What's the matter?" Robin opened the makeup box, dipped his fingers in sunscreen, and applied it on his face.
"Have you ever slept with our captain?"
Robin: "..."
(?_?), what kind of problem is this?
She looked unhappy and said, "Is this important?"
"Of course, after all, we were enemies before. If you have slept together, then I will have to be more polite to you in the future."
"..."
(乛_乛), shit, I can’t tell that you, a werewolf, have a lot of ambitions.
The black-bellied sister snorted: "Humph, no, I prefer mature and rough men, not pretty boys with oily hair and pink faces."
She refuses the old cow to eat young grass. What good is a young man? He is so careless.
"More mature?" Kaku raised his eyebrows, dissatisfied with her calling the captain a pretty boy. A sarcastic smile appeared on his face, "You, the son of a devil, have the nerve to show off in front of the devil king. Judging from the title, our captain
I can be your father."
Robin: "..."
(╬▔盘▔)
Okay, okay, the Demon King blew up, okay.
The sinister lady had a disgusted expression on her face and was too lazy to look at Kaku and the werewolf Gabra.
The sun was fierce and heat waves were rolling on the white sand. She stood under the palm trees on the side of the dock area and concentrated on applying sunscreen to herself.
Not to mention, the cosmetics from the Revolutionary Army are really good. After applying them a few times, her skin felt whiter, more supple and shiny.
It is estimated that it will take a year and a half for her to be white... ahem, permanently.
"By the way, the captain has something for you."
Kaku thought of something and ran back to the room. A quarter of an hour later, he brought back a slate and handed it to Robin. The blue-gray slate had many simple characters and symbols on it.
"This is a rubbing of the historical text?" Robin's eyes lit up.
"Well, this is the copy from Fishman Island. When passing by, the captain made a rubbing of it."
"Thank you so much."
"It's too much to say thank you. Let's repay him physically, as long as you stay with him for one night."
"Um?"
"The captain said that if you really want to feel grateful, just go to bed with him."
Robin: "..."
(?_?), some good feelings that just arose were gone in the blink of an eye.
She could imagine the joking and unflattering smile on Ren's face when he said this... Such a guy would definitely not find a girlfriend.
Robin threw away the newspaper, walked back with the slate in his arms, and muttered:
"What are Wulaoxing and the Navy doing? He is so arrogant and they don't punish him."
The son of the devil, hiding around all day long, can only behave with his tail between his legs.
The King of Demons is rampant and tyrannical all day long, and he can still get away with it.
It's so unfair. I've seen too much news about Ren's domineering behavior and how the wind and rain can prevail. The evil sister feels sour.
Also...
I feel like the Navy and CP organizations are not that awesome, and sometimes they are quite useless.
